by using the electoral vote, do you think your vote counts? would you be more apt to vote if the president was elected by the popular vote>

Electoral College because it works like it is supposed to. Most people that don't like it don't understand it or have had their candidate lose because of it. We can not afford to have candidates making campaign promises in only the four or five states that would get them elected. We can not have CA, FL, NY and TX deciding all of our elections.

People in the smaller states probably stop voting because the large states like Cal. , N.Y. and PA would pretty much determine who would be elected. So in a way the votes in the smaller states wouldn't count. I would stick with the electoral college.

Popular vote. That way everyone's vote counts. With the current system the large population states elect the president. In the electoral college system, the people in North Dakota or Rhode Island might just as well stay home. One person, one vote should always be our system and our value.

Electoral vote, so states other than NY or CA have a say.

Popular vote is better so that the will of the majority of the people will prevail in voting for a President.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

The popular vote.
I don't want some total stranger interpreting my decision for me.
Plus I don't want a tyranny of the minority (six non-elected judges having the final say over the registered voter).

1 person = 1 vote.
The electoral college has to go.
