The Electoral College was installed to prevent just that from
happening. In that way, New York can't push North Dakota around.

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written in such a way as
to protect the minority from the abuse of the majority.

Like the man said:

Real Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.


Added to by Edward R. Murrow:

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.
