I would never be in favor of doing away with the Electoral College vote. I live in a large city, but I come from exreme rural America. The people where I live are completely out of touch with the issues facing smaller rural America and vice versa. The Electoral College gives all groups a voice. Otherwise we would have NY city, Los Angeles, and San Francisco basically deciding everything for everybody.

I think we need to re examine the system. The system might have worked way back when, but it seems antiquated and not really fair at this point. Yes, some states have far fewer voters, but that you can win the popular vote and lose the election still does not really make sense to me.
That is an interesting concept, trillionaire. I doubt it would work here though; a lot of people are confused as it is with the Electoral College & some people can''t even punch out ONE hole correctly, let alone 3!
