THAT’S DEBATABLE:Change voting system?

Share via

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein plans to introduce a resolution in September calling on the abolition of the Electoral College and, instead, electing the president through popular vote. Where do you stand on this issue and why?

Abolishing the Electoral College is a bad idea because our Founding Fathers put that system in place with good purpose.

When elections are close, they didn’t want the tendency for fraud to overwhelm the system.

If the Electoral College had been eliminated during the 2000 election, all of the illegitimate brouhaha in Florida would have been multiplied by 50 states.

If you want voter fraud and discontent, eliminate the Electoral College. It has served us well and should not be abandoned.
