Electoral College Or Not: A Reform To The Constitution Choosing the president and vice president of the United States is a complicated process. It is too complicated a process. A person may think that simply voting for the candidates directly would be the way that the process is done, but that is not the way that it is done. Instead, our founding fathers devised the Electoral College to elect the president and vice president for the people. Instead of being elected by popular votes of the people, candidates are elected by electoral votes. Basically the Electoral College is the “middle man”. There are problems with this system though. The possibility of "faithless electors", the possibility that an election could be thrown into the House of Representatives is undemocratic, and the possible role of the Electoral College in depressing voter turnout. The Electoral College should be reformed. The Electoral College does not always really follow the people’s wishes for who the president should be, so the system should be rid of so that the people can vote for who they really want to have in office.
