Regardless, the "college" has been Gerrymandered into a form of voter fraud by the politicians, and mostly by the party that professes to be AGAINST voter fraud, so it MUST GO!

But, anyway, I am opposed to the Electoral College. I think a true democracy would be best. Would it be that bad if Kim Kardashian or Kanye West was elected President...?
Also, it doesn't matter anyway if neither of them actually runs for president.

I made several mistakes in the post. I should have put quote marks around the first post because I was quoting the creator of the post. Also, I realized that my math was incorrect. There are 538 electors, not 270.
Electoral College:
162 out of 538 total electors = 30.11%
Popular Vote:
115.53 million out of 325.7 million total people = 35.47%
As you can see, there is not that much of a difference between the electoral college and the popular vote.
