The outdated Electoral College system should be abolished.

When this country was founded, given the more or less primitive means of communication at the time, perhaps was a good idea to have a few people, members of the Electoral College, decide who the president would be. Representatives with the mandate to elect a certain person was a form of assuring some sort of fairness to the process. Today, this system is totally outdated.

Every citizen can see and hear each candidate at any time and decide which one is the best person for the job without having to delegate the power of decision to others.
Those in favor of keeping the present system may argue that has worked to date and there is no valid reason to change it. Well, it has not worked all the time.
Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison and George W. Bush, all Republicans, lost the popular vote but won the presidency thanks to the Electoral College system.
Without going into the shenanigans of politics it's obvious that many people are going to be frustrated when their vote, apparently, didn't count.

That's why, while surveys of political scientists support the continuation of the Electoral College but Public opinion polls have shown that 75 percent of Americans favored abolishing it.

We are probably one of the few, if not the only one, democracies in the World still hanging on to this antiquated form of electing a president. No matter where in the country you reside, your vote should count even if you are one of the three residents of Lost Springs, Wyoming.
