After 234 years can’t we find a better way to elect our leaders?
At the
Constitutional Convention of 1787 rich businessmen formed the Electoral
College!
In 2021 Rich men
and women destroyed the Electoral College!
I still do not see a good reason for
keeping a corrupt system the likes of our Electoral College System?
Why
did the Founding Fathers choose the electoral college for electing presidents?

The only winner is the party in control
of the country!
Another camp was dead
set against letting the people elect the president by a straight popular vote.
First, they thought 18th-century voters lacked the resources to be fully
informed about the candidates, especially in rural outposts. Second, they
feared a headstrong “democratic mob” steering the country astray. And third, a
populist president appealing directly to the people could command dangerous
amounts of power.
Five times in history, presidential
candidates have won the popular vote but lost the Electoral
College. This has led some to question why Americans use this system to elect
their presidents in the first place.
Among the many thorny questions debated
by the delegates to the 1787 Constitutional
Convention, one of the hardest to resolve was how to elect the
president. The Founding
Fathers debated for months, with some arguing that Congress should
pick the president and others insistent on a democratic popular vote.
