I have been hearing countless people saying that "the electoral college should be abandoned for a popular vote." This would be a disaster for America. Here's why L A County alone in California has enough votes to override 48 entire states, that essentially means that they would decide the president in the United States with no regard for the other states. Most people in the other states don't hold the same values that LA County does. If the electoral college was ever abolished the country would basically be run by California and not the people of any other state. This is just my opinion, but what do you think think?
