I think the Electoral College is in place for a really good reason, which is, if you look at how many uninformed voters there are, you can be swayed, especially the way the media is set up today, I think that it’s a really good control mechanism to make sure that the majority of the people’s votes are counted correctly, and that it’s a fair and honest system that’s had over 200 years of proven success.

I think the Electoral College is outdated, when the elections come down to single states like Ohio which could determine the outcome of the election. I think one man one vote would be more appropriate and much more representative of true democracy.

Absolutely not. The Electoral College doesn’t properly represent the full population.

No. I don’t think it’s fair. Elections are stolen by the Electoral College. The voters don’t have the final say and elections are stolen by crooked politicians like Bush and Cheney. Â

It doesn’t seem like it really represents what people want, especially considering that a president can win the electoral vote and not win the popular vote. And the popular vote seems more accurate.
