text: In one of they many paragraphs I had read, it simply stated "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that out to be (overruled)" that doesnt sound like everyone here in America is fully williing too agree to all of this, and I wouldn't blame them.  I don't understand why we cant just vote directly for the president ourselves! I mean after all, he is going too be our leader. I just would never put that type of a big decision in somebody else's hands who I don't even know at all, and especially if I know its not completely certain that whomever I had put my vote in for is at a 50/50 chance of winnning as it is.
