Federalist No. 68 calls to say this is exactly wrong. The Electoral College is a failure, and should be eliminated, but faithless electors are more "as designed" than some kind of perversion.

I agree, but what about abolishing the Electoral College? I want my vote to count. It is time We The People get the final say in who is our president.
