American voters everywhere are questioning how to fix the electoral system of voting. I have the perfect solution — Get rid of it! Return the election of our president to the way it should be — one person, one vote. The person who gets the most popular votes wins.

No electoral college, no red states, no blue states, just the United States.

The candidates have spent millions of dollars to buy our votes to get elected. Shame on them! This money could be better spent on so many necessary changes as opposed to buying votes.

Let’s get down to the real issues — not race, not gender, not age. How ridiculous! We need a president with a stand on the real issues in mind — not their own personal agenda or that of their biggest contributor.

Our politicians have spent billions of our money on a country that they bombed under questionable circumstances at best. Now they brag about all the good things they are doing for Iraq — state-of-the-art hospitals and state-of-the-art schools.

At the same time our children are going to bed hungry in record numbers, lack medical attention and try to learn in substandard schools!

We have lost over 4,000 lives for this country. Why? Because of a man who did not get the popular vote got in office. How different things might be if the real winner, the man with the most popular votes, actually became our president.

We need a system of voting where each vote counts. We do not need regular delegates or super delegates, who by the way are allowed to vote as they see fit. No one can tell them how to vote.

Let’s go back to the old way, the way all elections should be decided. One person, one vote, and the candidate with the most votes is the winner — our real president.
