    The electoral college was created to represent the people not work against the people. If they don't respect the popular why should we respect the electoral vote. The electoral college makes no sense and serves no real purpose other than to serve its own interests. Having an electoral college to me just says the government doesn't trust the people to make decisions.

    The electoral college has got to go. The popular vote should be used to choose the president of the United States. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote yet she lost the election. This is just wrong!

    most votes don't count since there are only 538 electoral votes for 231 million eligible voters

    This was created years ago to suppress the minority voters.

    How can it be said that "every vote counts" when in reality, every vote doesn't count.

    The electoral system is supposedly based on population of each state. It made sense 50 years ago when we couldn't accurately and quickly count every single persons vote, however with the advances in technology every vote is counted much easier. The president should be whoever receives the majority of votes from the people.

    Every person's vote should matter, regardless of where they live. One vote = one voice.

    No way in hell should the person who believes America is not the greatest country in the world, who lost the people's popular vote, who is a self proclaimed serial sexual assaulter, who has open pending legal charges of rape and fraud, and who is the least qualified person in the land become the next president of the USA!!!

    It's time to abolish the arcane system of vote counting known as the electoral college. In order for every vote to count, they must ALL be counted.

    It's time to get a new system that allows every person to have a voice in the election. It's not fair that some states have all the power!

    The electoral college is outdated. Every American has the ability to access abundant information about our candidates. Every American vote should count the same as all the others regardless of living in a county or state that holds a differing political opinion.

    It is time for the electoral college to go. At a time it was needed but that time is past. Everybody has access to the candidates and their platforms. Electors don't have to travel for days on horseback to cast votes any more. We need to go to a popular vote, one person= one vote.
