Use the popular vote for elections, not the Electoral College

Created by M.G. on November 13, 2012

An electoral college is a set of electors who are selected to elect a candidate to a particular office. Often these represent different organizations or entities, with each organization or entity represented by a particular number of electors or with votes weighted in a particular way. Many times, though, the electors are simply important people whose wisdom would ideally provide a better choice than a larger body. The system can ignore the wishes of a general membership.

WE the People need to give this back to the People, not some group of government officials.
