text: Bob Dole once said "Electorial college should be abolished" and from the looks of it he's not wrong. Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, the U.S. chamber of commerce, and the AFL-CIO are standing with Dole on this accusation and both agree on aboloishing this act. A Gallup poll was taken in 2000 and won the popular vote but lost the presidency. Over 60 percent of voters would perfer direct election over the kind we have now which is Electoral College.    The electoral college is a process not a place. Why would you want to get reid of it if the founding fathers established it. It helps people with an education of like law schools and stuff like that. It helps people in the long run so they no more about the president and the history.
