How Long Will The Electoral College Last

After this years elections there has been some dispute about the Electoral College. Let me start out by saying what the Electoral College is and how it works. The founding fathers established the process of the Electoral College in the Constitution. What happens is each party elects a certain number of "electors". Then when the elections takes place the party with the majority vote, from each state, will send their electors. This process seems quite complicated, however it really is simple. Let me use an example. California has 55 electoral votes. So each party during their caucuses will elect 55 electors that agree with the common view of the party. When the actual election takes place the population of California will vote for president. This years results for California were Obama: 59.3%, Mitt Romney: 38.4%, and Other: 2.4%. So Obama won the majority vote in California meaning that the electors elected by the Democratic Party will be able to submit their vote to Washington DC. Every election there are 538 electoral college votes. Meaning that to win through majority you must receive 270 votes.

Now the problem with this system is quite often it does not properly represent the people of the United States. There have been instances when the candidate that won majority vote does not get elected president. This recent election was close when it came to majority vote but Obama pulled ahead at the end. However many saw that Mitt Romney had the majority vote when Obama was elected president. This caused a bit of an uprising. Former candidate Donald Trump said, "The electoral college is a disaster foar a democracy". It seems to me that with the technology we have now the electoral college should become a thing of the past. Now that voting is done electronically we don't have to hand count each vote. For a country that says it is run by the people for the people it seams the people have very little power
