The Electoral College Voting System In the US Should Be Replaced

"The founding fathers new that most people would try to steal this presidency."I don't understand what Con is getting at here. How does one steal a job? Especially a job that most people don't want. There are a lot of people who would love to be president, but that's a vast minority of people. I've never heard of a 500,000 way election."A popular election in this case is radically vicious. The ignorance of the people would put it in the power of some one set of men dispersed through the Union, and acting in concert, to delude them into any appointment."This quote is reffering to the lack of information that most people had at the founding of the nation. It could take weeks for information to get from Washington, DC to voters in rural Georgia. Horses were mostly used for short distances of transportation. [1]. Also, I'd like a citation of the Constitution, because people are not quoted in the Constitution. "The Founding Fathers knew that that Electoral Colleges would be able to fix corrupt federalism.""That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." -Christopher Hitchens"By the constitution, people are required to choose their leaders that will represent them in the U.S. State Congress"People are not required to do anything. "in the U.S., about 60% of the voting eligible population votes during presidential election years, and about 40% votes during midterm elections." If only 60% of people vote in the biggest election year we have, and 40% vote on off year elections, that doesn't sound like a requirement. [2]. There are many countries that have compulsatory voting, the USA is not one of them. [3]"Richard Nixon received 43% of popular votes, but won 301 votes in the college system. Electoral colleges will always have the ability to elect the right leader for this nation"I'm going to break this down one part at a time: "Richard Nixon received 43% of popular votes, but won 301 votes in the college system." This is precisely what's wrong with the system. A minority of voters got to choose the President. 57% of people wanted somebody that wasn't him. Also, even though he won a lot of states, he only had a few thousand more votes than the other major candidate. [4]. The Electoral College system is very disproportionate when giving votes. "Electoral colleges will always have the ability to elect the right leader for this nation"Well it has failed tremendously. The use of the term "always" means that if I can find one instance where it did not pick the right leader, this claim is untrue. The Electoral College gave us Bush in 2000, even though he lost the popular vote. Bush was probably one of the worst presidents we've ever had. The economy had it's worst recession since the Great Depresion because of him [5]. He forged evidence that Saddam Hussein had WMDs in order to help out the Vice President's company Haliburton [6]. Also, 13 embassy and consulate attacks resulted in hurt/killed Americans during his time in office [7]. "Everyone will have the opportunity to be involved in the governmental system."This would be true whether or not we had the Electoral College."For instance, Obama had 61.7% of popular votes while Romney had 51.3% of popular votes."I feel as though if 113% of the country voted, somebody would have noticed. Putin won his last election after the highest voter turnout in the history of ever. 140% of all Russians went to the polls. I don't think that Con successfuly refurted any of my claims. I extend all arguments.
