what does 1 have to do with the other?
EC IS outdated.
Ppl say every votes count, but it doesn't.
Otherwise, Bush wouldn't be in DC right now.

The Electoral College was set up as a way to give smaller states more power in the government progress. The strictly popular vote is called the tyranny of the majority. This system based on a designated number of electors based on state population, which is the combined total of representatives and senators, was created as a means to ensure that bigger states did not just push over smaller states. This was done because it is very common to have like people living in similar locations. They created the EC to make sure that you couldn't just focus on particular regions but the country as a whole. You need to try to educate yourself a little before you make stupid posts. Plus its not the EC that needs to go, it is the party system. Our founding fathers realized that a party system would prevent the government from keeping the nation's best interest at hand and instead people would vote strictly on party lines. And what do you know that is what our country has come to now.
