The Electoral College is outdated and unfair. In most states the presidential candidate who gets the most votes is awarded all the votes cast, even those votes which were cast for the other candidates. Not every vote is counted equally. Far from it.
The Electoral College was originally set up to prevent voters in big cities from promoting their interests over the interests of rural voters. My reply: In today’s America, the domestic interests of most Americans are actually quite similar: They want good schools, jobs, health care, law enforcement and a healthy environment. All of these interests can be addressed by a popular vote system, a system that will also ensure that every vote is counted equally.
