One of the Maine State Senators is saying we need to get rid of the Electoral College, because it was put into place to keep slavery going. I never heard of this before. Does anyone know what this guy is talking about?

Ocasio-Cortez even linked the Electoral College to slavery when she said last year that it is “well past time” to eliminate the Electoral College. “It is well past time we eliminate the Electoral College, a shadow of slavery’s power on America today that undermines our nation as a democratic republic,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted last year.
"...and liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."As Ben Franklin said, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch."

I like the cut of your jab.Anyone who is in favor of eliminating the Electoral College who is NOT in favor of eliminating the senate, is a hypocrite.
