I, now more than ever, think we need to do away with the Electoral College because for one thing, we'd not have to worry about any of these recounts for electoral college votes, but rather would have a winner once all the votes are in. Granted, there can still be recounts on these votes, but I'd believe it'll occur a lot less.

Secondly, I think using just the popular vote would make even more folks come out and vote since now there really is no claim to be made about the power being taken out of the American people's hands or that their votes not counting.

Third, and finally, the Electoral College was created by our founding fathers because they feared mob rule and thought that the citizens of this country as a whole were uninformed. Now, over 200 years later, I'd like to think we are infinitely more informed and now, more than ever can figure out who we will vote for and why.

Though, if the Electoral college goes, please make spinsters go as well because they just dilute all possible discussion of facts in this country and are one of the leading causes of polarization of beliefs on both sides.

Take care all.
