When your drinking water filter gets clogged , or full of holes , do you throw out the entire system , & start drinking dirty water ? NO! You either clean it out , or replace it with a new one . That's exactly what needs to happen . Doing away with it will not improve our situation , & is shamefully being sought after by very well trusted people in the secular community . We need a "NEW" Electoral College , but I don't see that happening either . Not everyone is going to carry guns , we are not going to get rid of them entirely either , & we very well could do away with the Electoral College , without replacing it with one that does it's job , & just keep getting more dirty presidents . That just makes so much sense to so many people . Let's just all be led by the "small arts of popularity" , & live like they did 200 years ago , before the days of Hamilton . AAAGGGHHH !!!!!

Are you saying that a direct election, one citizen = one vote, is equivalent to drinking dirty water? What is shameful about getting rid of a rigged system in which the citizens of some states get more representation than others? How would the New Electoral College that you mentioned function and how would it be different from the current one? What do people carrying guns have to do with it?

No, 1citizen-1vote is part of the system we have now . If we do away with the Electoral College , how can we be certain that the majority does not elect someone for entertainment purposes , like Trump ? The reason I mentioned gun control was self explanatory . It is simply another matter that will not be seen to entirely , with both sides in disapproval . What assurance do we have , to replace the E.C. ?
