In this age of high speed, almost instantaneous data acquisition and compilation, the Electoral College method to elect our president is antiquated. The last presidential election proved that the popular vote could be tallied and compiled accurately. The Electoral College vote elected our now-president, not the popular vote. The majority vote (popular vote) went to the other candidate. Who is right, the majority or the very small number of people who control the Electoral College?

I think the people deserve the say-so on who will be our president. What say you?

Richard B. Scott, West Paris
