text: The Electoral College is a compromise between who the people of America chose and who Congress has chosen. This is an incorrect method of selecting the President. The Constitution states that we the people have the choice to select our government; not Congress. Yes, the Constitution's founding fathers also established the Electoral College, but it is a thing of the past. As Richard A. Ponser writes, an "anchorism" (In Defense of the Electoral College, par. 1), if you will. Moreover, the Electoral College does not belong in this day and age; it is something that is out-dated and in need of replacement.
