| Electoral College Is Undemocratic |
| Electoral College is undemocratic. In a democracy ,in the United States, where representatives are chosen by the people, Others cannot choose for us. In the electoral College, our votes don't count and the unnamed voters can change the votes any way they want to. |

I think the electoral college was democracy at its finest... We got the guys we most needed in
charge to take charge and they set up the electoral college for us... We can't depend on George
Washington's name and legacy anymore, we have to make the changes ourselves... The electoral college
lost its sense of democracy when our leaders became the founding fathers and our candidates became
politicians... There's such a deep-rooted selfishness with the electoral process... They placate
blue-collar states, and then more comfortably, pander to white collar states... Mutually agreeing
those who dissent either don't exist or have no place with such dissension, and nothing changes...
That john Adams series has been really interesting to watch i wonder what George bush thinks of it,
if anything... |

Of course it is. The country is a republic and it was set up to preserve the republic from the
tyranny of a democracy. Yes a democracy can become a tyranny when it becomes a majority that
threatens a minority. If you have a problem with the electoral college, then you should equally
have a problem with the senate which is of a similar set up. |

I don't think it's undemocratic as the electoral college is supposed to vote for the candidates
favored by the electorate. I just think it's completely unnecessary in the modern age and as we've
seen in recent elections, people who are losing the popular vote are winning the election because
they're focusing their attention only on certain states. If 50.1% of the polls favor one candidate,
they get all the votes in the state and that's certainly not in keeping with the "one person, one
vote" standards we ought to have. |

The U.S. Isn't a democracy, it's a republic. We choose people to choose for us - thus our
sovereignty is transferred. |
