  Winner take all is not fair and square, nor is it a democracy (by the definition of democracy). Neither is the electoral college as long as there are districts with disproportionate electoral college votes to individual citizen votes. Anybody that thinks their party is always right (democrat or republican) is a mindless sheep with no self thought. If you compare the net worth of a congressman or senator prior to serving versus after serving, the growth of wealth far exceeds their income. This is true of both parties elected official and clearly show the blatant corruption that nobody even tries to hide anymore. Either way, the electoral college, no matter how the votes are dispersed is a tool of manipulation to prevent a true democracy, and if you believe your party is not trying to manipulate you for the sake of money, you are the idiot. In a day and age of electronic feedback, there is no reason to not allow a true popular vote to prevail and in this year’s election, Obama would have still been our president.
