Abolish it. What can I say. The Citizens of the United States deserve the right to elect their President by popular vote and resolve non majority issues with a run off vote. Right now we can’t even comment if some third world country stages an election just to make it look like the dictator that wins was elected by a democratic process. In this country a significant majority of the citizens voted against the person who took the office of President in 2000. Another candidate received the majority of the votes. However a small group of people (realitive to the size of the population) used a process not familiar to the average US citizens to put a person in office that did not reflect the popular vote of the people.

Simply put what is easier? To coerce or bribe a small group of people or the entire population of the United States. Why take the chance? The Electoral College is a big component of voter apathy and server no valid function.

As President I will work to eliminate the Electoral College. There is too much opportunity for a small group of people to control the election process through the electoral college and without a broad base of understanding in how it works, and a broad based involvement from more of the citizens of the country, it is too dangerous to have around.
