Electoral College

The Electoral College has never caused any significant problems in US elections, so why change it? It has helped control who is elected for president, while it still lets the president be elected by the people. Why would be the point of trying to fix a system that has been working since the constitution was signed? But if there are problems or flaws with how the Electoral College works in certain states, they have the power to decide how they choose their presidential electors. This way, every state can decide which way they want to choose their electors. It has enough wiggle room to allow for minor changes, but overall, this system has been a success in the US, so why change it?
