    It will never work, the reason we have the EC is so places of population do not control the elections. Imagine if you lived in a small town and candidate A went to the big cities and said, you will no longer have to pay taxes we will make all the small cities pay your taxes. See why we have it. It keep the system fair for all.

    We have the technology to remove this antiquated system and go to a direct popular vote! When this system was created it was necessary but it is no longer so. If we had a direct vote there would no longer be just like 10 states that matter...in fact states themselves would only matter on state races. The people would have their voices heard for real.

    As the 1971 song by the Chi-Lites says, "Give More Power to The People" Get rid or modify the Electoral College so the peoples' voice is heard. Stop the corrupt Electoral College process. We should also vote by computer the less human hands on the ballots the less bias temptation plays into the process. Just remember what happened next time you vote

    This is the final straw. This is the 2nd election in the last 20 years that has been stolen from the popular vote. We are the only country in the world who uses this system that is broken. Please get rid of it so that I know at the next election that my vote counts.

    The electoral college vote complicates the message of who voters want to elect. It is not reflective of voters' choice. PLEASE let's use the popular vote in future elections!

    The electoral college has nullified the actual ballots of U.S citizens by circumventing the legitimate choice of the majority. This is criminal!

    The electoral college is an extremely outdated sysytem that favors the more densely populated states and punishes the less populated states. This is repeatedly demonstrated on the campaign trail where less populated states are bypassed while more populated states' voices are heard.

    The electoral college makes people think that their vote doesn't count. If it was abolished, more voices would be heard. More people would vote, Politicians would have to actually talk about real issues and "we the people" would then get to decide instead of the few. Let every voice be heard!

    The Electoral College is outdated, and has corrupted the way of modern American voting. It takes a system that was implemented during a time when America had slaves and women weren't allowed to vote, and tries to apply itself to an age where all people have been educated and media is available at the touch of a button. The people's voices don't matter, because it is only our designated delegates that get to vote for us. I'm tired of watching candidates get elected, on any side, who are voted in by the minority of the people, but just happened to get a few more states under their paper-thin control. It's time for a real change.

    The electoral college was an idea that was used to balance the North & the South votes a very, very long time ago?it is outdated now. We need to have the "popular vote" count ~ so that every persons vote counts! We live in a free country so, if most people want this, it should happen.

    If we live in a democratic country who abides by the constitution then why wouldnt the majority citizen vote be the final decision? The fact that only a handful of people are selected to represent the rest of America makes absolutely no sense and seems very systematic, sneaky, and tyrannical. If our giver is a true democracy than the electoral college should never exist.

    The Electoral college is outdated. Every vote should be counted equally. Every citizen of the United States should be have their vote mean the same as anyone else's. It just doesn't make sense any more.
