I agree get rid of the electoral college system. I have no preference on either candidate it should be by the public vote that is how we vote basically on all other issues and candidates it is also unfair to smaller states. We really need to change our outdated rules it may have been good back then not this day and age -

Would this be a duplicate of this? https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/constitutional-amendment-end-electoral-college-make-every-vote-equal-presidential-elections Hope the signatures can be sure to be counted together to ensure a response from the White House. As of now, it needs 98,687 signatures by December 9, 2016 to get a response from the White House.REPORT COMMENTS

Because of this stupid electoral college crap...we have a racist as president. Hillary should have been in the White House not Trump, he doesn't have any political background what so ever,but because they didn't want another democrat in office they went with the next worst thing and that was Trump. Now look we have an all out war in the states because of Trump opening doors for racist behaviors. With that being said they need to get rid of this stupid electoral college. It's the worst !!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

The purpose of the Electoral College was to prevent anyone unqualified to hold office or even be considered. The Electoral College has failed to uphold its duty and should be removed. The Electoral College is hindering the evolution of this democracy. Each vote should be weighted the same.REPORT COMMENTS

This is an antiquated system that no longer represents The People. One person, one vote. Each of our votes should be weighted the same. The popular vote should be the vote that elects the President. And it will take a little longer to count the votes, that's ok. It will ensure that the majority of votes cast for a candidate matter. ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGEREPORT COMMENTS

We the people, not we the electoral college, are the ones voting for a president. Twice, in twenty years, the vote of the people has been stifled by the vote of the electoral college. We no longer have a logical purpose to use the electoral college and IT IS TIME TO GET RID OF IT.REPORT COMMENTS

I've never understood why if the majority of the people vote for one person over another a handful of people can change the vote. It seems crooked . This year is an example. I think we should do away with the electoral college completely. Making it truer to our country's Constitution.REPORT COMMENTS

You wonder why voter turn out was only about 50%?! Because people know their vote doesn't count and doesn't matter anyways so why vote? Voting turnout will continue to go down because they know they do not decide an election but instead the electoral college. It is out dated and the power of voting should go back to the people.REPORT COMMENTS
