Should the electoral college be eliminated?

with it, a person could loose every state by 1 vote except california, and win california by a landslide and then loose the race.

with it, democrats in red states feel thier vote doesn't count, and republicans in blue states feel thier vote doesn't count.

if the electoral college were to be eliminated, then everyone's vote would count.

i do think the electoral college should be eliminated. as in the case of indiana - there's some counties with a lot of people who tend to lean democratic, and a lot of counties with little amounts of people but who tend to lean republican. indiana is counted as republican because of these little counties, even though the democratic counties have more people. this way indiana is counted as republican votes even though a large chunk of indiana is democratic.

i don't think that's fair..and that's because of the electoral college. if it was based on popular votes, the democratics in indiana would have their vote actually count. this way, it doesn't even matter if you vote if you're democratic in indiana. it's going to turn out republican no matter what.
