Get rid of the Electoral College. We, the people, want our votes to pick our president.

Created by S.H. on January 26, 2013

The Electoral Process is not fair. It violates the fundamental democratic principal “one man, one vote.” According to the huffingtonpost.com, “The primary impact of the Electoral College is to give the citizens of some states more influence over the presidential election than citizens of other states. If you live in a Battleground State you are showered with attention. Your issues gain traction at the national level. You have political power. But if you happen to live in a Red State or a Blue State, as do roughly 79% of Americans according to Nate Silver's electoral map, then you are pretty much out of luck. Your vote doesn't matter.” For instance a vote in Nevada could be over one million times more likely to impact a presidential election than a vote in New Jersey, a Blue State.
