text: To start this fire burning inside me, the Electoral College is so outdated and unfair. "The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualifed citizens." This means that the people of the state can vote buts it really not going to count. These people want a good president and it happened in 2012. Alot of Southern states like Mitt Romney and they voted for him. He got alot of votes and was beating Obama. But Obama got"61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percentpf the votes for Romney." Romney had change in his eyes and the Electoral College didnt care and took that away from him.
