Electoral college

I think the electoral college isn't necessary. There isn't a point in voting because even if the people choose a candidate, the electoral college could choose a different candidate. An example of this is in the 2000 presidential election. Even though Al Gore had won the popular vote, George Bush won the elections because he had more votes from the electoral college. Voting is pointless if the people vote but their voices aren't heard.

I agree that it makes it somewhat pointless for us to vote if our votes don't decide anything, I believe the popular vote should play a bigger role in the process but I still think the electoral college should be there as the middle man.
