StuartJ:
People don't understand its President of the United STATES.  Its the states that elect the president not individual voters.  The Senate was also supposed to  represent the states.

BranchMillardian:
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. Those rights are spelled out in the Bill of Rights and in our California Constitution. Voters and politicians alike would do well to take a look at the rights we each hold, which must never be chipped away by the whim of the majority.

I was once one of those who believed that we should eliminate the Electoral College because I felt that it was not representing the will of the people. Then I saw how it really works and realized that the Electoral College was a brilliant idea dreamed up by the founders. It keeps the country from being run by the coasts. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing something like that in the state since everything is run by Lincoln and Omaha currently.
Basically the Electoral College comes down to making sure that every person's vote counts instead of saying every person who lives in a populous area has a vote.
