Electoral college or nah?

The electoral college was created because communication was really slow back then.It was also created because the government (aka Alexander Hamilton) was scared of the people. And back then not a lot of people had an education and were illiterate. So they didn't think the people were smart enough to do it either. So the elites would come together and vote for the people. But now we get texts and messages from people within seconds so what's the point of having it now? It usually is fair because the electoral college would or SUPPOSE TO vote on the popular vote. And when they don't they get fired because that's not cool. One time it did fail when Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams were running for president. John Quincy Adams won even though Andrew Jackson had the biggest amount of electoral votes. If that's not called cheating then I don't even know anymore. I do believe it's fair but there is no reason to have it anymore. There are no more illiterate adults that can vote, we are all educated and can make decisions for ourselves. There is no need to have the 'elite' to choose for us. But the candidates are suppose to have some certain things to be able to get nominated for the electoral college.  The winner must have the biggest popular vote. And that the popular vote has to be sufficiently distributed across the country to enable he/she to govern.

Mays Gilliam is the man

Chris Rock other known as Mays Gilliam was a normal guy living in an impoverish city that runs where buses run over bikes and they bomb buildings that have a cat inside. And that how he got noticed. He was on the news for saving an old lady's cat. And that is when Debra Lassiter, Martin Giller, and Bill Arnot find Mays.

This funny movie explains what presidential electors have to do to win. Now Mays Gilliam is coming from a very different world than what the rich and politicians are used to.  Mays had to go to a very formal party to get donations from very rich people. And his party was telling him to be very polite and stick to the script but Mays did his own thing by taking over the DJ's spot and started playing better music that everyone was dancing to. His party thought he was being ludicrous and said he was making a fool out of himself when really everyone liked him for being him.

Thats when his campaign gave him strict speeches to give to the people even though Mays wanted to say something else. He would go state to state to go give speeches are aren't even his words. And his polls were still low. But he couldn't take it anymore that and he shut off the speech thing and that is when he was able to speak his mind and that is when people started liking him. He made up multiple slogans such as "that ain't right" and "knock out ya kids".

Most of the time Mays Gilliams rival would do a lot of pandering in his campaign. Whenever he ended a statement he would always end it with "God bless America, and no place else" Which I just want to say is really annoying.
Whenever there is a political elections it just sounds like gibberish to me but Mays Gilliam made it so then anyone could relate and understand what he was saying.
