What I cannot understand is why people act as if the creators of our constituition are holy people today. They were just as flawed and screwed up as any people today, yet we treat them as if they were second only to Jesus. The Bill of Rights is not something that should always be immutable, when things need changing, they should be changed. If they don't need to be changed, then don't. But people are terrified as if they somehow tried to modify any of those laws they would reach down from the heavens and smite us. Governments fall through lack of change just as much as too much change. The electorial college is outdated and serves no purpose (If it did, why has this issue came up only four times?) and no one running for President visits every state. My vote counts less if I lean one way and the state I live in leans another. There is virtually no purpose for me to vote if 60% of the people voting are going to vote for the person I don't like. But if there was only the popular vote, my vote is truly equal with every other person in the US. The true reason that the popular vote will never become the standard by which we elect presidents is that Republican states don't want to lose their absolute hold on their peoples votes and the same goes to Democrat states. But until that happens, fewer and fewer people will go to vote, because if they know their state is going to vote one way, why even bother going to vote. Too bad we'll never see the day when everyone's votes count.
