Electoral College

The Electoral College was created to create a barrier between the normal American voters and those who the government wants the opinion from. This is to prevent the majority from ruling over the minority. In today's society, the electors always vote in compliance with the popular vote. It is because of this reason that I do not mind the Electoral system. In the past, faithless electors have voted against the popular vote but this never happens anymore. I personally feel that the electoral college succeeded in the Bush v. Gore election. Bush won fair and square because his strategy was to get the votes of the states with the most electors and that is just what he did. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the Electoral College system is irrelevant, it will always be around and our opinions on the matter are senseless and mean nothing.
