And the fact that the electoral college is in the Consitution doesn't mean
that it can't violate the Constitution & be unconstitutional. The
Constitution initially provided for the return of escaped slaves, but now
it's well-established that slavery violates other parts of the Constitution
in a big way & would be unconstitutional. So the Constitution's initial
provison for the electoral college could be considered (because it is) wrong,
and in violation of individual rights, and obsolete & inappropriate for now,
as is the Constitution's initial provision for return of escaped slaves. [end

B. The U.S. Supreme Court repeatedly upheld slavery before the U.S. Civil War
and the fugitive slave clause (Art. IV, Sec. 2, Cl. 2) especially in the
infamous case of Dred Scott v. Sanford, 19 Howard 393 (1857), which drove
John Brown to his famous raid at Harper's Ferry, Virginia in 1859 which in
turn caused the southern oligarchy to create militias and to attempt to
secede in 1860-1861 after Lincoln's minority rule election in 1860. 
The 13th Amendment ratified Dec. 6, 1865 abolished slavery (at the cost of
some 620,000 dead).

The Court tries to uphold everything in the Constitution based on the
principle that repeals by implication are not favored.
The equal protection clause in the 14th Amendment, Sec. 1 only applies to
laws within a State, not between States.
