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. |

You're still mistaken if you think the Electoral College impedes on minorities.
It does nothing but help them, and it's been in working order for over 200 years. You can't just toss out a fool-proof system. It gets updated almost every decade (with new votes and territories being added to protect more minorities), and it still serves its purpose. You'd have to provide one substantially good reason to lose it for me, or anyone else who knows about its historical track record, to change my mind. |
