Electoral college

I believe that the electoral college should stay the same beside the fact that there was a flaw with the 2000 election having more popular vote but winning over electoral votes. My reason is that this is a fair and easy way to elect a president with this system of the electoral voting it might be a little bit unfair for the smaller states but it gives everybody a equal vote in the system and not be based on popularity votes and win by a fair amount just be winning 270 out of 538 it’s not really that bad for election day because we have an even amount of representatives. This is electoral college is fair because this has only happened 3 times last one in 2000 by not having this are government will be messed up in election day by just having popular votes. This also makes it fair because the candidate has to visit every state to make each vote count . In the 2000 election some people believed that the votes were messed up even after a recount some say it was by the other candidate but he didn’t get any electoral votes so there’s got to be a way that bush one and that was by the electoral votes change the game of Election Day. That’s why literally every vote counts so get out there and vote.
