This opinion piece gives no good reasons to keep the electoral college.  Third parties would have more power?  GREAT!  The current two party system that is bought and paid for by big money along with the electoral college, gerrymandering, a winner take all system rather than proportional, etc. keeps the corporatocracy as our current form of government.  It would be great if some day we have a working democracy in this country.  Hopefully before the entire biosphere disappears due to corporate greed and insanity.
