The Electoral College is an archaic flawed system that needs to be removed from our political structure. The two biggest issues with the current system is that it violates the one person, one vote rule, which should be the proper rule of a modern democracy, because it produces significant distortions in how much our individual vote is worth from state to state. The second problem is the whole battleground state issue. Once we’re past the primaries, presidential campaigns are preoccupied with the relatively small number of states that are actually competitive. But their competitiveness is just a demographic accident. There’s nothing special about them except that their populations is fairly evenly divided. These problem would disappear if we had a truly national election.
