Our electoral system is in danger of being destroyed, according to Democrats. As it turns out, the only way to protect it is to destroy it.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is the latest Democrat to articulate this view. Raskin told CBS that the Electoral College has “become a danger.” We must destroy it because, according to Raskin, “There are so many curving by-ways and nooks and crannies” in it that create opportunities for “strategic mischief,” and also, countries like Iraq probably don’t like it, so why should we?
