[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4622777, member: 18222"] It's looking more and more like there is no Systemic Racism.

One more disputed institution that Colorado voters will confront in the November election: the Electoral College. The [URL='https://www.history.com/news/electoral-college-founding-fathers-constitutional-convention']Electoral College is connected to slavery[/URL], according to experts and historians, via a Constitutional Convention compromise that allowed each slave to be counted as three-fifths of a person for the purposes of allotting membership to the U.S. House of Representatives, which in turn largely determined the number of electoral votes for each state. The legacy is reflected in modern times, some experts say, and it’s part of the debate on Proposition 113 — which asks whether Colorado should join a movement of states in electing the president by the national popular vote, circumventing the traditional Electoral College system.
