Re: US Elections
The electoral college system is no worse / no better than the boundries and lack of Proportional Representation (PR) in the UK.
Voting technology has moved on a lot since the constitution / democracy etc was first set out. The college system was a reasonable attempt at PR back then and to an extent still is. To attempt to count and consoliday millions of votes in day before FedEx would have been an impossible task.
