Electoral College

How do you all feel about the Electoral College, I feel that it is unfair to many canidates. Since votes are counted by the number of represenatives plus two senators, as long as a canidate can gain control of the larger states they can win an election. I think to either do it by popular vote or to count a state as one. What are your guys thoughts on it.

 

i think it's stupid. becuz the real citizens votes dont' actually count for very much if their so called "representatives" don't agree

 

It's an outdated concept. The reason it exists is because the Founding Fathers didn't trust the average citizen to make the right vote. These days, people are smarter, so it should be eliminated.

 

Exactly. Worked back then, fails now.

 

Elections should be based on votes ALONE. Not on "points' from states...

 

it's defintely a waste of time for regular citizens to vote becuz ppl also have to count those votes and they dont' even count

 

People still aren't able to be trusted, but when the voting age population that actually vote is like 30% then. People just don't care, its the people who are educated that seem to vote, I just don't like the idea of being able to win in 6 states and win.

 

I like it because then I get to see CNN color the country! Go Blue! Go Red! Go Purple! Go Gray!
