Electoral College

I believe that the Electoral College, the way it is today, doesn't work for our country. For example, when Bush was elected, he had lost the popular vote. The electoral college votes put him in office. The electoral college should be changed so that things like that don't happen again. Only two states in the entire country can split their electoral votes and they are Maine and Nebraska. Neither have ever done it. I think that all states would be able to split their votes by percentage. Basically, minority parties in a state may actually have a chance in the election. For example, Massachusetts is and has always been liberal democrats. A republican in our state wouldn't have a say. No matter what, in the system the way it is, their voices would never be heard. Also more than eleven or twelve states should decide who the winner is. A major pro to the electoral college is that there is a lesser chance of a miscount. If we did voting by popular vote, miscounts could be easily done. I think that if we fixed the problems with the electoral college, more people would be happy with it. Not everyone will be happy, but it's impossible to make everyone happy. We can at least make a majority of our country like the system we use to elect our president.
