The Electoral College has proven itself to be dangerous by voting for Presidential candidates who were not natural born citizens and were not eligible under the Constitution to serve as Vice President or President of the United States of America. The people who would rewrite the Constitution have already demonstrated an incapability and unwillingness to respect and abide by the current Constitution. Therefore, the Citizens of the United States have every good reason to suspect a Convention of States at this time can be abused to destroy the Constitution, rather than restore its original purpose and authority.

Facts not in evidence. Your contention about the electoral college is only a matter of opinion on your part, which opinion is not backed up by any legal findings. You may have some basis for your belief about constitutional ineligibility, but at this time that is just your unsupported opinion, not a fact. As for the rest of your fear about an Article V convention, you do know that anything coming out of such a convention will have to be ratified by at least 38 state legislatures to go into effect, right? If you believe that there are that many state legislatures that will vote to destroy the Constitution, I think you should seek counseling.
