Sure it would. But the Electoral College is so deeply rooted in the democratic process that I believe it would be difficult for any changes to be made. Balance of power between big and small states is one of the primary issues. Another big issue is the fear that without an electoral college there may be more vote count challenges and charges of vote fruad. Personally, I think the vote count challenges are a good thing. I know it would draw out the election a little bit, but that way every vote gets counted. The increase of voter fraud is a valid concern though. If there was some way to prevent voter fraud I might be ok with scrapping the electoral college. But as for now, I'm undecided but leaning toward keeping it until something cleary better comes along.
