It is clear during this presidential election that there is a massive voter fraud being committed in this country. It is well documented but hardly anyone is talking about it. I am talking about the Electoral College.

In 2016, former President Donald Trump was elected with 46% versus former First Lady Hillary Clinton with 48%. In 2000, former President George W. Bush was elected with 47.8% to 48.4% for former Vice President Al Gore. Possibly worse than that, the Electoral College causes candidates to focus all their energy on a few swing states, ignoring three quarters of the country.

In school I learned that when it was established, the Electoral College was meant to offset the control of presidential elections by a few big states. But today that means a vote in Wyoming is worth several times a vote in California, clearly unfair.

We need to recognize that when it comes to electing a president, we are one country and not a collection of little independent states. Aside from just scrapping the Electoral College with a constitutional amendment, there are other ways to achieve this. Check out Nationalpopularvote.com for one option. The Electoral College needs to go.
