text: In the words of Bob Dole "Abolish the Electoal college."  It is unfair, outdated, and irrational.  It is unfair because pf the winner-takes-all system there is in each state.  With this in place the canidates take no time in the states they know they have not of chance of winning in.  Instead they spend all of their time in states they may have a tight race in.  for example, during the 2000 campaign, seventeen states did not see the canidates at all. Twenty-five of the largest media markets did not even get to see a single campaign ad.  Under the Electoral College system they do not vote for the president, they vote for a slate of electors who then turn around and vote for the president they want.  Is that really fair.  That we are putting our nations future in the hands of only 538 people.
