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.

ehh. i should have said showed up as red.
it's always been red. it's was like... 65% red.
ok; it's close to the 50% mark, but not close enough so that it counts.

one thing that's bad about the electoral colege is the potential for one candidate to wind 49% of the electoral votes by a landslide, and then the other win 51% of the electoral votes by 51%.

candidate one wins popular by 75%. candidate two wins electoral by 51%.

not very probable; but the possibility remains.

and; with the electoral college, a candidate doesn't hvae to be a president for the entire country. they can be a candidate for just over half the states.

like lincoln.

and we see how that turned out; civil war.
