For some reason, CNN continues to invite former ESPN host Jemele Hill<\/a> on to discuss major political issues. This week, the topic was the Electoral College.<\/p>\n

During a Monday night panel discussion, Hill argued that the Electoral College<\/a> is entirely “rooted in slavery” and suggested that it cost both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris presidential victories against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

“The Electoral College is rooted in slavery,” Hill said. “That was the entire reason that it was invented, essentially, and we should have gotten from up under it a long time ago, and not just because you have two women, quite capable, who lose the election.”<\/p>\n

We’ll give Hill credit for managing to turn a discussion about Hillary Clinton’s election loss in 2016 into a conversation about racism. Not bad.<\/p>\n

The problem is that her history lesson doesn’t hold up.<\/p>\n

There is a legitimate debate among historians about the extent to which slavery influenced the creation of the Electoral College. The Three-Fifths Compromise undoubtedly increased the political power of slave states and affected how electoral votes were allocated.<\/p>\n

However, Hill’s claim that slavery was “the entire reason” the Electoral College was created is not accurate, or even close.<\/p>\n

The Electoral College is a compromise between the Founding Fathers, who were divided between having Congress choose the president and allowing a direct popular vote.<\/p>\n

The weighted system also protects small states. Were it not for the Electoral College, small states would have minimal say in presidential elections. Politicians would largely ignore their interests.<\/p>\n

That last point is crucial. The United States is not one state. It’s a collection of states<\/i>, including many with smaller populations.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Hill claimed that the Electoral College cost “two women” the presidency. That is also not true. Kamala Harris lost both<\/i> the Electoral College and the popular vote to Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n

This is the issue with CNN hosting failed ESPN personalities like Hill and Cari Champion. They struggle in the research department.<\/p>\n

Still, one has to be amused to see Hill on CNN spewing misinformation. Just last week, she claimed that she would have a higher-paying job for which she is “unqualified” if she were white<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It certainly looks like Hill is doing just fine, continuing to find jobs for which she’s unqualified, like appearing on CNN to discuss why America should abolish the Electoral College.<\/p>\n

Jemele Hill did not respond to a request for comment about her false claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
