People talk about abolishing the Electoral College system. If that happened, how many candidates would run in the general election for president? ~

Seven? Eight? If we had a national popular vote system, lots of people could run and a candidate could be elected with 30% or less of the vote. Never mind what the Trump people are screaming about now, imagine the potential for election cheating and fraud in a system like that.

Getting rid of it sounds like a good idea, but I know it's complicated. I really don't know what would happen. Sometimes I have to admit, I just don't know enough about it.
