Should Congress create an amendment to get rid of the electoral college? Why or why not?
No,its not what our founding forefathers intended and it would silence or take way any say that the less populated states have.
and too great a shift to the left.
How, exactly?

I guess because Al Gore would have been President in 2000?
Look at election results. All of the most populous states regularly vote Democrat. California and New York alone could nearly decide an election, as their populations nearly out strip the rest of the country. If it were pure popular vote, almost no GOP candidates would stand a chance.
Our country was founded on Liberty, not Democracy.

Because Bush was superb. Superb.
Yeah, I really don't think so: Florida and Texas.

Put those two against all of the Northeast, California, Washington and Oregon, Minnesota and Wysconsin and see how quickly you would lose.

I think the entire process is outdated and flawed. Why do we need them? I think we should have a general vote in which every single vote is tallied in a national count and not a state count. The current system where it is possible to have the lesser vote and still obtain office is ridiculas. With the current system its not about what the people want but what the system allows.
No because populism and an even purer democracy is horrible to freedom and liberty.
The Electoral College is more preferable.
So you would want densely populated states to decided laws for your state? The system isn't perfect but its much better than NewYork,California and other densely populated states trying to decided gun laws,hunting laws,abortion and etc for my state.
