Abolish the Electoral College which decides Presidential Elections

We the people of the United States petition to Abolish the Electoral College!! One person, One vote. The Presidential Election should not be decided upon --- but should be based on popular vote; one person, one vote! The Electoral College is an anachronism badly in need of retirement. Created during the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Electoral College was thought to add stability to 13 loosely knit states where communications and travel were slow and illiteracy high. It has, for years been to balance of powers between the branches of government, big state vs. small state rivalries which is no longer needed as those time have been outgrown. An election which is decided before all the states have been calculated. We ask each year, did our vote even matter? Make our vote count!
