The electoral college is an archaic and unnecessary protocol in our presidential voting system. I understand that it's there to allow those in power to have the final say on who they want as our president in the case of a popular/electoral split, but it is a horrible plague on our so called democratic process. The electoral college was put in place b/c there were large populations and isolated communities and all a candidate had to do was campaign in a few major cities and he'd have the majority vote.That is not true in the 21st century, the information age. The media, although skewed, relates everything campaign-wise. Allowing 585 people who can be bought off or choose to go against the popular vote in that state decide our president is a travesty. It is going to start a revolution.
