@WJo: 20 years is NEW.
Will we be the people republic of the united states in another 20 years?
@FoFa:  Unfortunately, we are already more of a republic than a democracy. I understood the need for an Electoral College back when many people couldn't read and communication was limited. However, every US citizen now has the ability to learn about presidential candidates, yet the popular vote of the citizens still does not elect the president, the Electoral College does.
You know the EC didn't have anything to do with how many people could read or write. (not that those who can read and write now are able to make cogent decisions.) The EC was made to ensure smaller states with lower populations had say in the election.
