The electoral college voting system is designed to represent each state fairly and such, and make sure that only a select few who voted would know the canidates. Also because they predicted that the commone people wouldn't know anyone from outside their state/general local area.
But this system was designed hundreds of years ago. Now, each state had different populations to count. There are no 'three-fifths' of a man anymore (slavery) and voters would know all canidates through the internet, TV, newspapers, and general media.
So here's me question now: Should we rid ourselves of the electoral college voting and let the voters chhose our president, and let the country be lede by someone IT wants to be lead by, not some 100 or so senators?
You tell me.
