text: If we get rid of the Electoral College then the voting for office wouldnt be fair. Some states are a lot bigger than others. So once its gone then the bigger states would have more effect on the votes than the smaller ones. Example: if we do get a new way to vote and its off popular vote then what if New York has 40,000,000 people and Nevada has only 10,000,000 people. New Yorks votes would have a more effect than Nevadas. This may lead to long debates over the voting arrangement because the smaller states would be mad that they wouldn't get as much of a fair vote. Just like how it was when the founding fathers made this arrangement.
