You are literally a moron. There have been three protests on my campus alone, all of which were painfully pointless and stupid. Let me break it down: The electoral college gives each state a certain amount of electoral votes, on the basis of allowing every state to have a say in the elected president and officials. Without the EC, it would be up to the popular vote, which would mean New York, California, Florida, and Texas would elect the president every four years. Let me put it another way for the liberals out there. If everything in this country was majority rule, or "mob rule", say goodbye to rights for minorities, LGBT community, and anyone who doesn't have a mainstream opinion. That is the reason the US is not a true democracy, because that would be terrible. The electoral college is one of the greatest ideas put forth by our founders. If you want it to be abolished, you are giving the country up to four states. Edit: I'm not saying the EC is flawless, but it is a hell of a lot better than just majority rule. Unless you can think of a better system, the EC is here to stay.
