Due to the way the Electoral College is set up, it's possible to win the presidency without winning the majority of popular votes. Because of this, a debate has sprung
up as to ways to possibly fix this system (assuming it needs to be fixed). What
arguments can be made for getting rid of the Electoral College?

What arguments
could be made for keeping it as is?

Some arguments for getting rid of the electoral college, is that the electoral college is not fair to urban areas because they are under represented. Rural areas like Wyoming are over represented, but areas like California is underrepresented even though it has the most electoral college votes. Therefore the electoral college is not fair to urban areas.

An argument to how we should keep the electoral college, is how it makes sure uneducated people do not have much of a say. The way electoral college works is that regular citizens vote, and that sways the views of the electoral college people. The electoral college is very educated and bases their decisions off of what the people voted on. This ensures that the uneducated still have a say, but are not making the complete decision. This is good because it ensures the people electing our president are educated and understand what is happening.

These two arguments are debatable and I do not completely agree with either of them, but I studied about both sides and these are two possible arguments.
