I've been reading up on the EC and the more I read, the more it makes sense to keep it.

Do away with it and a presidential candidate will never campaign in 80% of the country again. There would be massive disenfranchisement.

Not only does it make sense to keep it, the Founders were fricking BRILLIANT and prophetic to come up with it.

Prepare yourself for the left calling for riots and drastic change every time things go against them. To drag America down they HAVE to change America.

Before you argue with one of the idiots know what you are talking about (see uogreyedd post above). Then, make them tell you why something should change. $100 says the argument devolves into an emotional mess centered on them wanting to change a founding principle to suit their agenda rather than a rational and logical thought.

Right. Whichever way California votes go is going to be enough to decide an election.

It is the fourth division of power. The power of the States (not individual citizens) to limit the power of the Federal government. It embodies the Tenth Amendment.

I would shoot myself if I knew all the left wingnuts in California and New York would hold that much sway in a popular election.
