text: Right now there are many disputes and arguments over wether or not to keep the electoral college. Personally where I stand, I think that the electoral college should have less power, but not be totally rid. Reason for my opinion is that alot of times the electoral college has too much say, and we the people dont have enough say. For example, Barack Obama recieved 61.7% of the electoral vote compered to 51.3% of the popular vote. The electoral college had the most say and impact upon the outcome of the election. Most of the time electoral college makes mistakes on who they pick.
