The majority does not rule and every vote is not equal - those are reasons enough for scrapping the system.

Obviously doesn't know his history.....

But then again....you stated

The whole point of the electoral college is to make candidates work for votes from states and areas they would otherwise pass up.

Actually prior to the 16th and 17th amendments we were still practically a representative republic divided into the 50 parts that make up the federal part called the United States of America. Something happened in 1913, (build up to WWI, or breakup of Standard Oil, something) to cause us to let those two slip by.
