text: I feel as if we got rid of the electoral college it would just cause us more trouble that we are dealing with at the moment. the electoral college helps us so dramaticly, and some people just don't understand how much it really helps. Everyone might think they know so much about the electoral college, like if we got rif of it everything would just be fine. No one really knows what really goes on all the time. I could not  imagine if we were to ever et rid of the electoral college that has been there since our founding fathers.
