In modern US politics, the Electoral College has become a huge issue among young voters. With some very controversial and close elections in recent years including that of George W Bush and Al Gore. More recently Donald Trump won through an Electoral college system even though his rival, Hilary Clinton had over 2 million more votes.

I personally believe that the Electoral College should not be abolished and it is simply because of the reason it was first introduced. Every State should have an equal say in the votes and no single State should be able to completely sway the election.

For example, California is by far, the largest State in the US by population. If we only go by the number of votes, California can easily swing the whole election. This is unfair for proper representation in the Parliament.

The risk of abolishing the Electoral college is that it would mean that only 2 or maybe 4 States might have complete control over the election process and smaller states will be left behind
