“Absolutely not because the Electoral College gives a much broader demographic representation to our nation. Middle America (would) not be heard. The politicians (would) focus on the coasts and the flyover areas would not be represented. A possible fix would be to have the Electoral College select the president, and the popular vote elect the vice president.”
Pam Moore, Aspen, Colorado

Molly Liner, Moab
