Many people believe that the Electoral College is out of date and should be eliminated. They argue that it was created at a time

when fewer people could vote and the voters were much less educated than they are today. They note that, originally, a similar system was used to choose members of the Senate. Instead of voters choosing senators directly, state legislatures chose them. The Seventeenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, allowed for the direct election of senators. Many people think the time has come to do the same with presidential elections.
What do you think? Should the Electoral College be eliminated?

Answer:

No the electoral college should not be eliminated. According to the founders, the electoral college was created in order to prevent the tyranny which could manipulate popular opinion. The statement that voters were less educated then compared to today is false, as many today are still uneducated particularly about politics. In addition, the arrival of immigrants who either do not speak our language and also fail to integrate into society much less understand the political system; as long as they are able to vote, electors are able to prevent the election of a incapable president. In addition, it is in place to prevent the minorities' voices from being suppressed. For example, the electoral college forces candidates to campaign in all regions, including Iowa where many farmers would be ignored for a popular vote.
