I think by narrative you mean good historical analysis.

meh, the article emphasizes one variable when there were actually a couple that were more important. slavery mattered, but it wasn't driving this debate.

it's a narrative and therefore wrong and biased also because i disagree with it

It's not just a "narrative" - it's a specific specie of propaganda.

Slavery had zero to do with the electoral college, and that's easily borne out in the historical record. I have offered to write an article simply laying out the historical record, but the Atlantic will have none of it. They simply keep publishing this same thesis over and over.

I guess I'll make it a law review article or something...

zero is a little far fetched.

^ Unless you've read the historical record. It's amazing how you don't actually know...you've just decided slavery had to have something to do with it. Do you work for The Atlantic?
