You know, the reasons we had the electoral college in the first place are no longer there.You know, the reasons we had the electoral college in the first place are no longer there. Same with the reason we vote on Tuesday. Travel time from one place to the other.
Now? We have instant communication and can tally all the votes of each and every citizen fairly easily.
I say get rid of the electoral college, it's gone AGAINST the will of the people twice now. The popular vote should pick the president, not a small group that comprises the electoral college.
Wanna know why Trump was saying the election was rigged if he lost? Because he'd already managed to rig the electorate.
The smaller states are equal to the larger states now?
Actually, that is the reason that the Senate has 2 representatives from each state, and they are the ones that pass the important stuff like budgets. That way, each and every state has an equal voice in government.
I say get rid of the electoral college and let the popular vote pick the president.
and let 12-15 states run the country?
No thanks
Hey stupid...........you didn't read or you didn't comprehend. The reason we have an equal amount of Senators from each state is so that no one state has a majority voice in how the country is ran.
The electoral college has nothing to do with it, and that is also why the Senate and House have the ability to override the president if they feel he is going against the will of the people by overriding vetos and the like.
You didn't have civics in your high school, did you?
You want the popular vote to decide the presidency instead of the electoral vote..
12-15 states could have enough popular votes to decide the presidency.
senate and house have nothing to do with it.
