How many of you read the Parade magazine in the Sunday papers? The "Ask Marilyn" column this week had a very good reason why the electoral college is useful and necessary.
The Electoral College is the law - and for good reasons

China and India running the show for the planet?
Why not? I mean, what could go wrong?

Without the electoral college, presidential elections would be decided by 10 to 20 of the most populated counties in the country. To get elected candidates would have to campaign in and cater to those areas exclusively. The President would cease to be "of the United States" and the second amendment would be lost along with all the others.
