I wrongly used "populace". Sorry. I was referring to those same "electors",
who were also initially required to be landowners, and male.
Hmmm...???????????? ?? ;-)

Actually, they didn't. They assumed we were a bunch of ignorant rabble;

Congress was supposed to elect the President and Vice President.
