Vote or Die

I'd vote to get rid of the stupid electoral college; I agree with President-elect Trump: Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."

I still think it is an antiquated system that definitely needs changed or removed to fit this day and age. After all, we are not the same country we were 200+ years ago.

The electoral college ensures that rural states have an equal say in the election, otherwise whichever candidate wins New York, Miami, LA, or any other major metropolis, would automatically win the election. And the will of a few cities doesn't represent the will of the entire country. Donald Trump won the popular vote in something like 30 states, and that's why he won the election, despite losing the overall popular vote.

An electoral college would indeed be a disaster for a democracy, but America isn't a democracy, it's a representative republic, and electors are our representatives for the election process.
