PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Many people believe that the Electoral College is out of date and should be eliminated. They argue that it was created at a time when fewer people could vote and the voters were much less educated than they are today. They note that, originally, a similar system was used to choose members of the Senate. Instead of voters choosing senators directly, state legislatures chose them. The Seventeenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, allowed for the direct election of senators. Many people think the time has come to do the same with presidential elections.

What do you think? Should the Electoral College be eliminated?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No the electoral college is the basis of Americas foundation. It allows the voters to vote but not have complete control over the campaigners. Instead of having individual votes there is a widespread vote method. Based in population and verified votes the campaigner is decided fit for the position. Democracy keeps America in its place and power is distributed evenly.
