Should the Electoral College be abolished?

47. Which is why it is set up that way.

If it was not set up like it is, those small states would get stomped on. What would prevent the larger states from saying the small states only get 1 senator and we move the extras to large state. Even further removing the voice of those in small states.

Also be careful what you ask for, as things we want sound great when we have the larger number of votes. But what happens when we dont, aka see judicial appointments.

Lastly we are not a direct democracy except at small levels, at national levels its a representative democracy. Its was written in a way to stop a minor majority ( or a large one ) from walking all over the minority. Imagine a time when the majority wanted to do some thing awful and minority was able to stop it. If we did not have it set up like it is conn, delaware, mass, NJ and vermont would have the same presidential vote as florida. But instead florida has 30 and those 5 states have 38. So the one state would have the same say as 5 other east coast states with out it set like it is. Yes I know this works both ways, but over all I think thats a good thing as balance of control stops any one group from stepping on the others as easily.
