Not being an ass here but since you are an avid Ron Paul supporter I find it a bit ironic that you feel this way. This IS part of our original Constitution created by our Founding Fathers. Can we just pick out the pieces that we like and scrap the rest?

Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . The point of a democratic election for president Really, what is the point of going out to vote for president? The electoral congress is supposed to take the popular vote into consideration when placing their votes, but we have had presidents elected who didn't win the popular vote. When something like that is a possibility, what is the point? Can someone fully explain the role of the electoral congress to me that makes them so important that THEY not the people get to really choose the president? Rating: 5
