A former constitutional law professor criticized the Electoral College system on Friday, saying that it is a “vestige” of an “earlier vision” of how the U.S. government was going to work.
“The Electoral College is a vestige, it’s a carryover from an earlier vision of how our federal government was going to work that put a lot of premium on states,” President Obama said during an end-of-the-year press conference.

Without the EC, LA and New York City could carry every election for the Dims.
In other news,the Electoral College suggests Obama is outdated.
All good. I might add:
Suppose we ask the states if they’d like to continue with their premium being states instead of Adjunct offices of adjunct lecturers.
When an article starts with a misstated premise, it's not a good sign.
It has never been more RELEVANT!
The Demorats cheated and they lost anyway, that’s what really makes them made.
Imagine an America who’s presidency is dominated by large inner city welfare mentalities. The electoral college protects America against that.
You’re way beyond your shelf life Bambi. Time to go.
He also thinks that secure, fraud-free elections are obsolete.
So sayeth Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch who becomes stutter-meister without his Telepromptor.
Hey dork, where’s your grades?
Howdja get into good schools when you have the IQ of a tapeworm?
Fake news in the first five words.
Barry is a lying murdering traitor. Any suggestions Traitorobama excretes are leftist diarrhea.
I saw his response in that press conference. IMHO, he tap danced carefully around that answer.
Since there is only a few day left in his term, his ‘pull date’ is slowly, fast approaching.
Strange that he he never made these comments the two times he won the election. The Dems ran the most flawed candidate in history and the American people rejected her fair and square. It is time for the Dems to sit down and shut up.
Do we conservatives have any choice but to acquire primary residences in CA so we can vote as Californians?
Let’s get on with it. Round ourselves up and start a reservation like the Indians got. In blue counties. With special rules. CA is down with that. We might even get property tax relief if we break enough rules!
If he doesn't, he may find himself on the wrong end of a treason charge.
One could do away with the Electoral College, in the context of mechanism.
One could simply have the states” total of Reps and Senators automatically apply in selecting the president without any meeting of Electors like what will happen Monday.
There. No more Electoral College.
They would go crazy. “We did away with the Electoral College like you asked. What’s the problem?”
:The electoral college is only outdated when Democrats lose.”
Didn’t he say in his news conference that it could be bad for Democrats?
