We have had the Electoral College system for 200+ years, and it hasn't made sense since about the Civil War (which was when the real power in the country shifted from the State governments to the Federal).

It's amusing to see how many people are just beginning to notice that it doesn't make sense.

It won't be changed, though. Anything that helps the Demicans and Republicrats keep the process all to themselves, and keep the common people out of it, will be defended at all costs.
