  • I would say a group making a decision that applies to everyone inherently involves some people’s preferences being inflicted on others. All the electoral college does is shift that power from one subgroup to another. You can argue that you prefer that we give more weight to lower population areas to balance their influence via the electoral college, and others could argue that it’s better to maximize overall representation via a popular vote. But neither of you could claim to eliminate “someone far away deciding things” for some people.
