text: We should abolish the Electoral College because its just a waste. All they do is tally up the popular vote, and say "OK, im going to vote for Romney since that's what my people want."  Why can't we just vote for who we want instead of wasting our time! The popular vote should be the only way to vote. There shouldn't be a long and hard process to voting. If I go and vote, I don't want to have to know like 60 different people to vote for, I just want to check the box saying that I want to vote for 'so and so' and leave and go home. It is ridiculous about having a whole process to voting.
