Former Vice President Al Gore called for an end to the Electoral College tonight.
"It's always tough to amend the constitution, and very risky to do so," he said on Current TV, which he co-founded. "But I think its time, I think our country would be stronger and better if it went according to the popular vote."
In the 2000 presidential election, Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral to George W. Bush.

That’s just ludicrous. That would make a Wyoming citizen’s vote worth 46 times that of a Texan’s. Your solution goes to far in the other direction and creates a system that is even more unfair.
Whatever algore wants is always wrong. FU ALGORE
Two of the many components that make someone a Liberal are:
1. Total lack of historical knowledge.
2. Complete ignorance on the Constitution and why it was specifically written the way that it was.
Gore. He has these.
And Chicago.
The next thing the Dems will start proposing is to reduce the number of Senators. Why should Wyoming have the same number of Senators as California? Their goal is simple: total control of the system and the masses; in other words - TYRANNY!!!
Who gives a rat’s hindquarters what the hypocrital Fat Algore thinks about anything? He’s been so wrong about so much since about 1990 that if he claimed that the sky was blue, I’d look up just to check it out.
Its about time for another snowstorm to cancel one of his Globull Worming speeches.
Liberals hate it that we have 50 independent and sovereign states with powers outside of the Federal Government.
This “end the E. College” stuff is another just another step to dissolve the states.
That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks.
The call to end the Electoral College pops up during elections for America’s president....’ol Al just can’t resist trying to get his name in ink is a given, so using that tactic as no one has asked him to do anything he is shouting under the political shower. Wipe the sweat off the shower door when you leave Al...............
Moderators, DuncanWaring is using this highly offensive racist code language (C**ago). . .please remove his post!!! I AM SO OFFENDED!!
FUAG!
Has Big Al ever had the opportunity to read the reason why our fore father created the electoral college. What a moron.
People accept that the World Series is decided by the number of games won, not the number of overall points scored or overall number of hits.
People accept that football games are scored by the number of points scored, not the number of yards gained.
If you define an ideal voting system as one which maximizes the possibility that a single individual can turn the outcome of an election by their one vote, the Electoral College is it.
Mathematical proof of the legitimacy of the Electoral College:Math Against Tyranny.
Seems to me, Al, it wouldn’t have been an issue IF YOU HAD NOT LOST THE VOTE COUNT IN YOUR HOME STATE.
At least I didn’t say E**t St. L%^&s.
Thank you, Tennessee.
Seriosly Al... It’s been 12 years. Get over it!
Even worse, it is a transformation from a Constitutional Republic to a Democracy where the majority can legally screw the minority.
