**We have to vote.  It's majority rules but wins are limited to each State. It's not a National Election.  It's 50 separate elections with each state worth so many points also known as Electoral College Votes.  This is meant to prevent the  overpopulated city centers (who live in liberal echo chambers) from having too much influence on the Country as a whole.**

I'd say electoral college ftw then. Democracies have always fallen to authoritarian mob-rule with leaders bribing and taking advantage of ignorant people through government-provided "bread and circuses". People in cities have always been more susceptible to this, as social interaction is much more prevalent and concentrated. This leads to more group-think, which is antithetical to freedom. The founders knew this, so they gave rural areas more votes in the electoral college to restrain the factions in the population-dense cities. Also, what @adconner said.
