Supporters of the Electoral College say that it forces Presidential candidates to compete in all 50 states (whereas without it, they argue, candidates would only compete in the big states). Critics of the Electoral College point out that in almost every other election, the person with the most votes wins. What do you think – should the United States abolish the Electoral College and go with a purely popular vote? Or do you think the Electoral College is worth keeping? Be sure to backup your opinion with facts and data.
