Use of the Electoral College??

I don’t think that we need an electoral college anymore. From my understanding, the electoral college was because the founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency and also because they don’t trust the people to make a decision over who should become president. During the early years of the United States, many people couldn’t read or write so in a sense, it was a good idea to have an electoral college. However, now it is not needed anymore. Look at where it got us today.

I agree that electoral college is outdated. people's representatives are not always choosing whom people want, but rather who themselves  they think will be good as a president. But what matter is the end? who the majority wants? or who a few " illuminated minds" want
