The reason we have the electoral college is so that small states with low populations still have some say in the outcome of the election.

However, some say that the electoral college was originally put in place because the government did not necessarily trust the general population. Now we are much more educated and knowledgeable, but I still think that it gives states like Alaska, Rhode Island, Montana, etc. some say in the outcome of the election.

Personally, if it were up to me, I would throw out the electoral college and go on popular vote alone.

I agree.
