Electoral college
The electoral college should be kept because by taking votes from big states and giving them to smaller states they level the playing field and give those small states a chance to have a say in what goes on in an election. Not only does it level the playing field for states they also do so for the candidates because they are forced to run and grab the majority electoral vote of 270, a 3/4 majority, in only about half the states. Finally the main reason is because it save the planet, by taking many states out of the campaign trail they are saving candidates the trouble of wasting gas to travel out west and by doing so saving the planet from harmful greenhouse gases. But seriously the main reason is because the Electoral College is constitutional and has been for maybe the past two centuries, so the amount of resistance that would need to be adhered to would be immeasurable and in the end would not be worth all the time and money it would take to get rid of the electoral college.
