The Electoral College

Don Boudreaux at Cafe Hayek ponders the Electoral College.

Lots of sound counterarguments in defense of the Electoral College are possible.  Here I offer just one - namely: if we don't think it undemocratic to elect representatives to Congress to carry out our political desires on tax policy, environmental regulation, national defense, why is it undemocratic to do largely the same when it comes to choosing a President?
