Electoral College

The electoral college does great things to help narrow down political parties. As well as giving each state their own sense of power however, currently the electoral college seems to becoming a bigger and bigger issue. Seeing as it depends on the population per state to determine the number of electoral votes for each state, is leaves the smaller states with a huge disadvantage. For the people living in small states they are left feeling completely powerless, as if their votes count for practically nothing. Bigger states are given more attention from each party of the representative's running for the presidency.

The electoral vote over powers the popular vote which in the past on several occasions (1887,1888,2000) has made a huge difference in the person elected president. Seeing as it's the people that the president is working for the people should be able to have a large say in who they are electing as their new president. I feel that the electoral system should be removed if not modified. It's something that can be fixed so why not fix it? Clearly there are several people that seem to find an issue with it so why not make the people happy and change it . We have the technology to make it possible to have each vote count. This would give the people comfort in knowing they were each able to have their own say in the elections. Also, this could very well attract more people to the voting poles.
