The Electoral College has lived almost 100 years past it's usefullness. It is no longer needed - The Popular Vote is all we need and all we want. Media is now within everyone's reach so we may make our own decisions based on our own research.
Why is this important?
The EC was created by our founding fathers to represent those who did not live and/or could not travel to Washington DC where they could hear live speaches from candidates. This was over 200 years ago when there was NO MEDIA! Now media is within everyone's handheld device, desktop, laptop, Television, magazines and newspapers. The Electoral College served it's purpose in the 17 and 1800's but the popular vote is all we want!
