I hate to ask a political question on this forum, but you guys are all intelligent people and I don't feel like signing up for a political forum lol.
My question is, can anybody give one GOOD reason as to why somebody would prefer the people vote for their president, as opposed to the Electoral College voting? Everybody around me doesn't like it, but don't like it for the wrong reasons though. Sure, it's not exactly a "Democracy" then, but that is definitely not a bad thing in the case of selecting a president? I could give quite a few reasons why I think the college should stay, but have never heard in my life one good reason as to why it should go. Thank you :}
