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.

Our democracy is not just about majority rules. The United States is a FREE country. We cherish FREEDOM. If one group is in control all the time it would end up not free. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Electoral college is under the same princable as checks and balances. The country was founded on freedom not corruption. Yes, that's where freedom leads with abuse, but with great power comes great responsibility. The one elected is duty bound to the entire nation. Not just NYC and LA. There are systems behind this that ensure our FREEDOM and allow democracy to thrive. The economy has to go down to come back up. To make money you must buy low and sell high. I'm using the economy as a metaphor. There must be sacrifices to win. No pain no gain. You have to spend money to make money. NOTHING in this world is ENTIRELY free. There are costs. We sacrifice a fundamental democratic belief to keep democracy alive.
