Has the time come to abolish the Electoral College???

SFC Erin Barnett - You are correct.....NOW..... but as the ranks of the "needy and greedy" grow...... as we increasingly reward failure and punish success..... a day will come when only democrats will be elected.....and the nation will self destruct

Are people seriously arguing that it's unfair that there are more people in cities, and thus they get more votes?

Only the people in the big cities.

PO2 Peter Klein, I know that this entire topic is old news now, but this graphic really does a good job of explaining the electoral college and the popular vote. We'll have for the next presidential election! MCPO Roger Collins MAJ Paul Bacak SSG Jim Laning

I truly didn't understand that for awhile, but even though I disagree how it's setup, it does provide an ultimate protection. It does force focus on distribution. Maybe it should be amended slightly.

Original intent to keep the landed gentry and urban people to make serfs of the country people. Still works well.

CPT (Join to see) - It does not need to be fixed(amended) or replaced or rescinded. It is designed to give each state a voice equal to the number of Representatives and Senators they have in Congress which currently has a total of 538 nation wide. Those electoral vote usually go the same way as the majority of the voters in your individual states vote. It seems to me that it is working exactly as it was and still is working just as it was designed. I seem to recall reading that Trump won the majority of the states individually and the majority of the popular vote by a margin of almost 700,000 votes. Pray tell what needs to be amended. If you are not happy in this Constitutional Republic that has stood the test of time (well over 200 years) there are plenty of "Democracies" available to you world wide. You don't need to fix something that ain't broke. How many other countries have lines of people waiting and hoping to immigrate to them? This nation has always been a beacon of freedom and hope but unfortunately it seems to be dimming now.

Equal voice for every state regardless of its size.
