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 say yes.
The electoral college was originally created before there was TV and huge, nationwide campaigning. It was so stupid, uninformed America wouldn't make a mistake. It should absolutely be eliminated because of the technology, nationally broadcast debates, and the general political knowledge people have. The majority of our presidents have gotten the lesser popular vote, but win because of the electoral college. it's silly and outdated and needs to go! aaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm done. |
