text: When I am old enough to vote, I would like to see that my vote counted for the President and not a group of electors. One main problem with the Electoral College is the fact that the trust can be betrayed. What about what happened in Hawaii in 1960? When Vice President Richard Nixon luckily precided over the senate, validating only his oppenent's electors, but made sure to do so "without establishing a precedent." What if it happens again? You are voting for someone that could be anyone not holding a public office.
