What is the purpose of a popular vote by the American public IF a select group of people can negate that popular vote and choose someone else? IT HAS HAPPENED.

No! Otherwise only a few states would control the whole country...

Over my dead body. That would destroy the United States and replace it with the United Cities of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and the rest of us slaves to them. NO! A thousand times NO! Just as much as I will fight to defend the Second Amendment, I will likewise fight to defend the electoral college. Μολων Λαβε!!

You'd better hunker down and start digging a hole, Corporal. The Electoral College is going down. It's just a matter of time before we have a true democracy. Also on the plus side: the NRA will have much less power over local gun laws.

The Electoral College representation is the same as the representation in Congress. Membership in the House of Representative is adjusted every 10 years, base on the census, to have equal representation, I.e. One person one vote. There are 2 Senators for every State giving Eula representation for ach State.

I live in California; I walk, dine, work, and hang out with Californians. Believe me, you do NOT want to get rid of the electoral college. You do not want Des Moines turning into Sacramento!

No it is not time to get rid of the Electoral College that would defeat the Purpose of this being a Constitutional Republic. It would make this into the Mob Rules ask the Romans how well that turned out...oh yeah they disintegrated. Look at the countries that are Quote democracies and how they are set up and see how the mob rules. Most of Europe is like that and its getting worse each election cycle.

No !!!We are a Constitutional Republic not a Democracy ... The electoral college was designed to give the little guy a voice .. If we didn't have it the most populated states would dictate the rules for everyone..

Absolutely not. It is one of the keystones making us a Democratic Republic.

Not at all. It's intended purpose could not be more evident in the last election. With out it, the only people who would be represented would be the high concentration populations like New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and a few others. The County by county map of red and blue wins are dramatic. We are a republic, contrary to what many think.
