text: I believe that the best argument should be between the people and not members of the Electoral College. The most worrying part of using the Electoral College to vote for the president and vice president insteded of using the peoples votes is that the elections are just being thrown to the House of Representatives, where the state delegates choose the president and the Senate will choose the vice president. Candidates dont't spend time in states they know will have no chance of winning. they only focus on the tight races in "swing states" that are most likely to pay closes attention to the campaign. The Electoral College puts most of the weight on the large states because of their large populations.
