The Electoral College is outdated and only serves to give greater power to voters in certain states while disenfranchising those in others, allowing politicians to pander to a few special interests instead of serving the population at large.
The Electoral College dates from a time when instant communication was impossible and now only serves to disenfranchise voters and make entry into the political system near impossible for third parties.
It is time for every vote to be counted and direct election by popular vote be the standard in all elections.
