Regarding Ron Slabe’s letter “Electoral College is archaic”: Any law, resolution or proposal to change the core process of our national election, especially one heavily sponsored (i.e., funded) by left-wing progressives, is something the electorate should strongly oppose.

The left has a way of assigning nomenclature to disguise the purpose of the mission. “Make Every Voter Equal”? Will we open the borders to flood our country with undocumented citizens and give them the right to vote? No thank you.

Our founders were divinely inspired with discernment to understand large population centers alone should not determine the outcome of the presidential election. I urge readers to do their homework on how National Popular Vote Inc. is funded. Left-wing champions are not spending millions to make it fair for liberal and conservative voters; that system already exists, and only a portion of our citizens actually participate. Rather, there is an advantage democratic socialists seek from the large left-leaning population of our largest cities.

The Electoral College is not archaic; its purpose was pioneering and visionary, and it remains essential for our republic due to the extreme socialist candidates that have emerged.
