Due to the way the Electoral College is set up, it's possible to win the presidency without winning the majority of popular votes. Because of this, a debate has sprung up as to ways to possibly fix this system (assuming it needs to be fixed).

What arguments can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College?

What arguments could be made for keeping it as is?

    first we should be know that the term electoral college does not appear in the Constitution but the Article number II in Constitution and the 12th Amendment refer to electors, but not to the "electoral college.

    so for make any change should be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to change

    so over 700 proposals have been introduced in Congress but no body have fared well since 200 YERS

    THE MOST arguments can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College was from The American Bar And they said it was archaic and ambiguous.

    arguments could be made for keeping it as is Since the Electoral College process is part of the original design of the U. S. Constitution it would be necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment to change this system.
