text: There has been much controversy over whether or not we should keep the Electoral College or have it removed and vote on the president based on popular vote.  I believe the best decision is to change to an election by popular vote for the President of the United States.  If the system would change, people would feel like their votes actually matter more then they do now.  They wouldn't have to worry about the electors flipping sides. Some people though, do say that the way the election is now is completely fair in the case of votes are based on population.
