John E. Sununu’s defense of the Electoral College (“Even better than the popular vote,” Op-ed, Nov. 5) is another attempt to defend the indefensible. For many reasons, this system should be abolished.
First, the Electoral College is a vestige of slavery, used to give slave states the same disproportionate influence on presidential elections that they had in Congress by counting (non-voting) slaves as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of allocating representatives in the House of Representatives.

I agree totally. #1)Why does anyone even listen to John Sunnunu? He is one of the GOP's racist/hatemongers. #2)Had this been abolished years ago as it should have been,we would not have had the disastrous Bush/Cheney destruction years,and finally,why after winning the popular vote,which clearly states you got more votes than your opponent,shouldn't you be inaugerated into the office you ran for?
John is a disingenuous idiot that has no place in serious conversation.
Yes, but what do you really think of the Professor's systematic outline. God.
