text: In Addition to my idea about removing the Electoral College, I think its a bad idea because the electoral college is not a good determing the winner. A prime example of why the electoral college is a bad idea is when Al Gore lost the election in 2000 against Bush. It is stated that Al Gore had won the popular vote but lost when it came to electoral college he lost. It is said that over 60 of thoses voters wanted or prefered a direct election instead of the electoral college system. The Article"In Defense of the electoral college" states things that good about the Electoral College like "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candiate receives a majority of the votes cast."This is a example of that statement is Nixion in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 plurality of the popular votes,while winning a majority in Electoral College. The Electoral College is still a democratic in many peoples eyes and mines.
