Electoral College

After reading both sides of the Electoral College debate, I believe that we shouldn't have the electoral college.  The election for the President should be one of a direct vote.  Every vote would be counted for and every side would be seen.  We wouldn't have to worry about one state getting a certain amount of electoral votes.  All we would need to worry about is every vote being counted.  That way, no matter what state a person was in, the votes would be individually counted and go towards the candidates.  The popular vote should be the one that determines who becomes President.  It should be up to the people and the electoral college shouldn't have the final say.
