What does not being a pure democracy have to do with changing the EC?

How is the EC changing?

Like removing it or fixing it

Because the founding fathers set up the EC

and it works fine

We would still be a federal republic

No we wouldn't

Yes, we would

As the federal republic goes

nope

You do realise with the EC

any elector can refuse to vote for the candidate

Anyways, most Americans wanting to abolish the EC doesn't mean anything

As America is not a democracy, for this reason precisely

and the EC is given by the founding fathers

"At its core, the literal meaning of the word republic when used to reference a form of government means: "a country that is governed by elected representatives and by an elected leader (such as a president) rather than by a king or queen"

Yes

The US would be governed by elected leaders

correct

and it is

And the president would still be elected

the president is elected

through the EC

which is a federal republoic

if you remove the EC you no longer have a federal republic

In a Federal Republic, the way the president is elected doesn't matter

As long as there are representatives (congress in this case) it would still be a federal republic

And the fact that removing the EC would transition into a democracy

which is not what America was founded on

Nope

Oops

The EC being removed only changes the way the president is elected

I meant it was a constitional republic

sorry

Correct

that would be popular vote

which is democratic

Not a federal republic but a constitutional republic

EC is useless

The US would still be governed by representatives

"A constitutional republic is a form of government, where the head of state and other representatives are elected from a group of people."
