Saturday Link Love: Walks, the Electoral College, and Rural America

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! This week has been a hard week for a lot of us. I’ve tried to select articles that add something interesting, but unfortunately, the content I’m giving you is still very much election-centered.

I’m a Coastal Elite From the Midwest: The Real Bubble is Rural America, on Roll Call—“I’m from the rural Midwest. I now live in Washington, D.C. All of this talk about coastal elites needing to understand more of America has it backward.”

This Hillary supporter just ran into Hillary in the woods, because we all need a long walk today, on Mashable—“Bill even took the photo.”

The Troubling Reason the Electoral College Exists, on Time—“The Founding Fathers had something particular in mind when they set up the U.S. presidential election system: slavery.”

I Want to Help You Understand My Lament, on Shannon Dingle—“Overwhelmingly, white evangelicals voted for Trump, deciding that their “but…” reasons trumped discrimination against our family.”
