I am at the point in my life where elections are concerned that i really want the electoral college to just go away, i get why it was put in place back in the early days of our country to give small states an equal footing with larger states, but the was the original 13 colonies, no election as been close enough to require the electorial college where the popular vote is concerned, besides most states no longer matter anyway where the college is concerned, most only have less than 5 or so, so whatever the original intent was is all but muet, it should be decided by popular vote, and why even keep track of popular vote if it doesnt matter in outcome.
