text: I feel that we should remove the electoral college because it seems like we do not use all of the votes to have everyone's input on the election. The electoral college consist of 538 electors and a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. My question is "Why not use all of the electors votes instead of using only anout 55% of them?". We say that every vote counts but if we are not using all of the electoral votes then that means we are just contradicting our statement.
