How can our votes actually make a difference when the popular vote may go to a specific person yet the electoral college decides to vote in a different direction? It's time to really give the vote to the people,, who constitutionally are given that right, the right to vote. With that right comes the expectation that their vote counts, but it does not. Not really. There are obviously reasons for having had the electoral college in place, but personally, I do not see a swing-state with a very small population, deciding the vote. Democracy has always been majority wins. Now, it does not appear to be the case.
