Middle Township - The electoral college absolutely needs to be abolished! It's an abomination. The founding fathers are not God. Only swing states determine presidential elections now. It's pointless to vote Democratic in a red state or Republican in a blue state. No one can say your vote counts when presidential elections are determined by a few thousand votes in two or three swing states. Popular vote should determine presidential elections like it does every other election. Even Trump said the electoral college is a disaster for democracy.

Moderator's Note: 
Nov 6, 2012, Trump tweeted, "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy." Nov 15, 2016, Trump tweeted, "The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play."
