Curious...why can't we lose the Electoral College and let the person that the most people voted for be the winner?

because we are the United States, not the United Individuals

i've answered this many times today already.

short answer -- to amend the Constitution to do that requires the affirmative vote of 38 states. Only 13 states would be required to prevent it.

Now -- go count the number of low population mostly rural states --

Iowa

North Dakota

South Dakota

Kansas

Nebraska

Oklahoma

Arkansas

Montana

Wyoming

New Mexico

Alaska

Utah

Idaho

and those are just the ones west of the Mississippi river. I've not counted any in the South, nor small states in New England.

do you see? it isn't possible and will not ever be possible.

so live with it. [Hillary did not even carry Arkansas.]

The people of California and Texas would carry an unfair advantage over the other 49 states.

Because we don't want to.

Constitutionally it would require the agreement of 38 states, and that is not likely to happen any time soon.

It's being considered as we speak.

because of our constitution

the electoral college keeps us from the mob rule mentality

Because Hillary would win

Gotta change the law for that.

It is just the way it is.
