text: Changing the election by popular vote for the presendent won't change anything. People will find mistakes in that and want a different way to elect people. It's best to leave the system alone before everything goes havoc.  The Electoral College is a way for people to vote for who they wan't without others knowing. Keeping the Electoral College may make some people mad, but it's something we are all used to. It would take years for us to perfect everythimg for a new voting system.
