Electoral college
The electoral college was created to create a buffer between population and the selection of the president. Another reason it was created is because it was apart of the government that gave power to the small states in deciding who was going to be president. I think the electoral college is unfair because the votes are based on the population of the state. I think the candidate should win based on how many people in the country like him rather then have more electoral votes. In the 2000 election despite Al Gore winning a large percent of the popular vote he still lost to President Bush. I believe the electoral college is a bad idea because the President should win the election by how much people in the country like him rather then winning by getting 270 electoral votes.

If the electoral college is "fair", shouldn't Al Gore won the election of 2000 because the majority of the public voted for him?
