I understand that the Electoral College is not new. My point was, however, that the times have changed, and so perhaps have the needs of this democracy. I feel that in order to make people feel a bit more connected...no, in fact to MAKE them more connected, I think we have to make it far more direct; one man, one vote...and thus restore some sense of power to the individual voter. Without it, apathy is quite understandable. It results from a feeling of powerlessness.
