text: Our Founding Fathers were geniuses to have come up with a system that worked so well in their time, however, old methods don't always stand the test of time. Election by popular vote makes more sense in today's world.  The Electoral College eliminates the power of some people's votes and puts those that matter in the hands of people who could do whatever they want with them. This is why election by popular vote would be a better system for determining the president than the Electoral College.    Dear, State Senoator I believe keeping the electoral college is best on what we know and whats fair. There are many reasons on why we should change by popular votes but keeping the electoral vote is also best on things that can be better for the united states.
