text: To me " The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational."Bob Dole id right to say abolish The Electoral College. " What have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their time, agreed on abolishing the electoral college. They're not alone; according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore"."Over 60 percennt of voter would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. This year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could lose the presidency, but yet the electoral college still has its defenders".
