Quarter 1, Week 4: The Electoral College

First, follow this link and read an article about the Electoral College:

Then, consider this:

The Electoral College was originally created as safety net during presidential elections.  However, in recent elections, Americans have asked if the Electoral College is still necessary or if it just complicates elections in today's society.  So, what do YOU think?  Should the Electoral College stay in place, or should we experiment with one of the systems proposed in the article?  Explain your answer.

The elctoral college should stay in place, because a small portion of Americans are ignorant, and would nominate an individual incapable of heading our country.
