Jan 2 2013: This is true because it does offer a more fair representations in proportion to population sizes of the states. Your idea to elect the representatives in the College that way is a very valid proposal.
Jan 2 2013: The Electoral College and a direct popular vote each offer there own benefits, and also downfalls. The Electoral college can offer a say in voting to states with smaller populations in a more proportionate manner. Therefore, I think the electoral college offers a better system of voting because it doesn't allow the uneducated to input their vote without consideration and thought. These votes can lead to an election that doesn't offer as approximate election as the electoral college provides. The Electoral College is overall a better system and the direct popular vote should not replace it.
