The electoral college has outlasted its usefulness. It is part of the constitution, written when communication was by pony express. Voters currently living and voting in a "red" or "blue" state are disenfranchised, because their vote doesn't matter. Eliminating the electoral college means: no "swing" states getting all the attention and all the campaign stops. The electoral members are selected by the two political parties, Republican and Democrat, disenfranchising all other voters, independent, Libertarian, etc. As a result, the idea that ALL votes matter is in fact false. What truly matters are state values, thus creating a divide in this country. In order to truly have all votes matter, the only real solution is to rely solely on the popular vote.
