The electorial college needs to be done away with. It's useless.
The electoral college was made so that states that didn't have a ton of people living in them could be equally represented in the election of the president. If anything, we need to keep the electoral college despite it's flaws. If we got rid of it, California and New York would decide everything in the end. My dad is from Argentina, they have no electoral college and he says that Buenos Airies decides everything for the country and what might be good for it, probably isn't good for the rest of the country. I personally don't want California deciding everything for the country just because more people happen to live there, or New York. Just because it may be good for them, doesn't mean that people who live in smaller states like Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Vermont, Massachusetts, or Connecticut will be benefited, so they'd end up being completely looked over because they can't make up for the volume in people that other states have.
There were good intentions when the electoral college was made, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect government. Taking an AP US Government course taught me a lot about that. :/
