He argues that the Electoral College, often misunderstood and criticized, is a cornerstone of the American republic, safeguarding the rights of smaller states and curbing potential voter fraud.

Moore, writing in the midst of the election, acknowledges the growing movement advocating for a National Popular Vote, which would replace the current Electoral College system. However, he cautions against such a shift, citing the importance of the Electoral College in maintaining the balance of power across the states.

"We are a confederacy of states," Moore states, emphasizing that the power of the federal government is derived from the states and the people, not centralized in Washington. He further explains that the Electoral College assigns power to every state, safeguarding the primacy of the states and protecting the rights of the minority.

Moore warns that without the Electoral College, larger states would dominate the election, leaving smaller states overlooked and underrepresented. He questions, "Would any candidate care about voters in Nebraska or New Hampshire or Nevada or Maine or Alaska or Iowa given that California has more voters than all of them combined?"

Moreover, Moore highlights the role of the Electoral College in curbing voter fraud. He argues that a National Popular Vote would incentivize massive illegal voting schemes in major cities, potentially leading to stolen elections becoming the norm.

While acknowledging that the system isn't perfect, Moore defends the Electoral College, comparing it to a tennis match where the player who wins the most points doesn't always win the match. He concludes that the current voting rules, despite occasional anomalies, help protect our democracy rather than undermine it.
