Although i too believe that the electoral college is an antiquated and, presently, unfair representation of the poppular vote for the President of the US, i am also a big believer in this thing called the CONSTITUTION, which states in explicit terms that the President shall be elected by a vote of at least 271 of the Electoral College. Both canidates knew that this is what is written in the constitution and so did the American public, its not like the Electoral College just popped out of nowhere here folks, its been here all along, and if its going to change then it needs to be changed by an amendment passed by legal means. It should not be an issue in this election.
