The Electoral College

After having read the article attached to our assignment, I don't feel like any fair solutions were discussed. No matter what was proposed, it was looked at from the perspective of the political party, and how that party may benefit or not. Why does it matter how the individual parties fair? The whole point of examining whether or not the Electoral College should be done away with or not is to attempt to make elections a better representation of what voters want. I feel that this is the biggest reason why American politics are so ineffective: we don't think like a nation anymore, just as parties in competition with one another. As soon as we step back, and start looking at this debate not as Republicans and Democrats, but as Americans we can start to move toward making an informed decision. Until we reach that point, nothing should be touched.
