text: From: PROPER_NAME                 Removing the Electoral College and instead using popular vote would be much more fair to the citizens.  Instead of having a vote not matter at all in certain states that are always going to vote for the same party, we could have everyones voice be heard.  There are cases where a canidate won the popular vote, but still had less electoral votes than their opponent.  In 2000, Gore won the popular vote.  This alone should be enough to put him in office.  However, Bush won more electoral votes, and he was voted as president.  It is clear who the majority of the US wanted as president, but the Electoral College interfered.
