>...current electoral college system is... not representative of true democracy. True. But America is not a Democracy. It is a Republic. There is a reason why The Founding Fathers created the Electoral College system. Under a Popular Votes system, if one state has more than 51% of the population, it will decide the whole election, and ALL the other states won't even get a say (because they all only add up to 49% or less), which is unfair to these smaller states. This is why the Electoral College was created. It's there protect the smaller states, to make sure that they also have a say in the election.
