The thing is the electoral college system brought us George Bush II. That was the most disastrous presidency in our history. Al Gore is a douche bag. No getting around that. I didn't want to see him become president but George Bush II did a lot of terrible shit to this country that we may never recover from. And if Al had won the presidency he wouldn't have any time to make any shitty movies.
The only real problem with the national voting system is that you can't restrict it to citizens only as easily without issuing a national voting ID based on biometrics or some shit. The electoral college does help to reduce the influence of the "illegal" vote.
