Popular vote should not only determine the elected president, but also the primaries . . . and the vote should be simultainious from coast to coast, so that there are no results from early-vote states that could potentially influence the outcome.
Congress is looking for an excuse to abolish this system in favor of the Popular Vote, because it would mean that only 7 or 8 States would be needed to win an election.
The Electoral College was created as a means to defeat that - by balancing the votes of States differing by population, wealth and political influences.
There is a real problem with the Electoral College, yet it could be easily fixed by simply creating limits to the number of Representatives for each State.

Again.. That candidate must get 100% of the vote in those states. Improbable..

Youre acting like States are the ones we need to represent not people.
You're dead wrong. This is why we have the problem in the first place.
