I have to disagree about the Electoral College being changed or “updated”. I also disagree that the constitution needs to be rewritten to reflect modern times. The Electoral College was made a long time ago, but why change something that works. Also it would be unrealistic to get rid of the Electoral College because the smaller states, which the system helps out, would not want to change. So why spend a lot of time trying to convince many small states to change when we have a system that works. The Constitution was written for the purpose to be interpreted, also we have a system of being able to change or make amendments. Why don’t we just use the system that is already there to make changes instead of rewriting the whole document where there is potential harm. If we started to rewrite the Constitution what would stop special interest groups trying to put in stuff promoting their group over other people. I am not opposed to making any changes at all; I just feel that the Constitution should be left alone unless it is being amended, not rewritten.
