As far as I'm concerned, the electoral college has only one function...to make the votes of one group of people have less worth than the votes of another group of people. A vote in Wyoming has 3.7 times the power of a vote in California. (http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/against...-citizens/ ). That is absolutely ridiculous and even worse than the original constitution's apportioning of a worth of 3/5ths of personhood to slaves.
We have second-guessed and changed many aspects of the constitution since it was originally drafted and the country has not gone to hell in a handbasket. Do you really think that we should have kept the constitution intact (which would mean that women and blacks would not be able to vote today)?
