Our founders thought this out carefully to account for population concentrations in the various states and how to represent people who live in sparsely populated rural areas as well as densely populated metropolitan areas.
I vote "no"...no matter which party you support, it could be turned against us all...this is not a country where majority rules...it is a country where everyone gets representation and the electoral college keeps that in check.

'this is not a country where majority rules'
ahhh democracy......who can define it?
Even though i support it above the electoral college there was still evidence discovered when Jill stein demanded a recount in Michigan, Pennsylvania and I believe maybe Wisconsin.
But anyway those states were write in states and during the recount in Michigan the amount of write in votes for Sanders that were placed in the ballot boxes of HRC was nearly 5 digits when the recount was called off.
There has to be a completely infallible method of voting before we go completely to a popular vote system and we need to have open primaries as well.
