Electoral College Dropout?

Why do people hate the Electoral College?

You know, that anonymous group that actually selects the President, based on the popular vote count of The People. There are a number of organizations that exist to, um ... change the way votes are handled and countless others who include Electoral College reform in their activities.

A "National Popular Vote" plan was just bounced in both North Dakota and Montana, so the movement has to regroup. (Is "movement" the right word?)

What's this all about? Weigh in, readers.

I believe there are those that do not agree with the electoral college due to the fact that it makes the public feel like they have no control. After all, two elections in our history have been swayed by the electoral college; electing in officials that lost the popular vote.
