Supreme Court to decide the future of the Electoral College

11. Why the electoral college

Hi There

I am sure there are some out there that will disagree with me, the but Electoral College was put into the Constitution because the founding fathers did not believe that the general public could make such important decisions as electing a president without help.

The original electors were all rich land owning "squires". This may sound odd but it was the mind set of the times and so from their perspective it was not an unusual thing to do. And most of these people were in Congress.

It has for many years been bastardized to the point of being a dinosaur and it is passed time for it to be removed from the Constitution so that the popular vote is the only result that matters.
