I understand what you're saying but there are some things to remember. One, the electors don't have to vote the way the voters did. Two, by having an electoral college what we in effect have done is allow a voter in Idaho to have four times the power of a voter in California. Three, when the electoral college was first instituted there was no means of communication other than sending someone to the capital with the results. Now we no longer face the problem and finally, I don't believe the founding fathers ever intended for a minority of voters to control federal elections.
We can't easily get rid of the electoral college but we can negate the problems if we get five more states to change their rules and give all their electoral votes to the popular vote winner.

The entire premise is flawed. First off, illegal aliens aren't allowed to vote and when they did a study of voter fraud they found 0.001 rate of suspected fraud.
Second, the electoral college has no impact on voter fraud or illegal aliens and in fact, would make it worse. Take a state like Georgia with 16 electoral votes. If we eliminated that system and 10 people voted illegally, the final count would show 10 votes in the national total. If however 10 people voted illegally and the Georgia election was decided by 10 votes, then all 16 electoral votes would go to the candidate that those 10 people influenced.
Then let's go from there. In the recent past, we've had three Presidents elected by a minority of the voters. This is wrong on a lot of levels and needs to be stopped. The vote for President should be a vote by a majority of the voters.
Fortunately, some states are taking this head on and because the states have the right to control their own voting rules, they've decided to give 100% of their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote.
So presently there are 12 states that have passed and signed that bill into law.
Some of the states that didn't pass it was because it was vetoed by the Governor and then they didn't have enough votes to override the veto.
All that's needed is an additional 5 states to pass this and the entire electoral system becomes an impotent memory and the people of this country get to actually control who wins elections.
The really amazing part of this is that now that I've posted this, the attacks will begin from the Right. The Right, who believes in Mom, apple pie and the Flag is going to defend a system that takes away the power of the populace. Louise, Blurry, go ahead, I've heard all your insults before but maybe this time you can make a cognizant argument.

So??? The Constitution is such a marvel of governmental organization and was meant to cover growth without knowing just what the details would be. The men who fought over every word were such thinkers. We don't have that today. So let's not destroy that marvel especially when you compare that with every other country in the world. Socialism seems to be the new darling of the young who are the least educated of any generation in our history. Do not let them become the voice of the American people.
