I personally hate it, makes me feel like I don't have a vote. Which technically I don't since NY always goes Blue.

live in NY and feel the same!

I think Electoral votes are crap ! , I think it should be the popularity votes. Each persons vote counts as one, whoever has the most votes wins. I HATE Electoral crap.

exactly.

individual votes dont mean diddly- it all lies in the hands of your state representative   

What does electoral mean

They allow us to "vote" to feel like we have some choice. The people wanted what? smurf that, vote the other guy!

I hate it. I'm in Georgia so my vote never really counts.who thought of electoral votes anyway lol

I was just researching this like...not even five minutes ago lol. I actually don't understand WHY we still have the electoral college because what I was reading was that it was to keep the uneducated from voting, but who's to say who's educated enough to vote? I could be wrong, so if anyone knows about the college y'all could explain it to me -_- I'm seriously confused as to why it still exists.

Agreed. It's a very outdated system that wasn't even fair when it was first instated.

That's what I thought it was for too. So it should not exist anymore.

You mean like tonight? Popular vote went to Romney, but Obama won? I don't understand how it all works!! D:

Very flawed system. Wish they would've done away with it long ago.

I swing democrat/obama but I agree I freaking hate how the electoral college works.
