So, why is the President and VP the only offices that the Electoral College is used for? Back when our Framers created the Constitution what was the most prevalent type of Government in the world? It was Royalty. The top dog ascended by Birthright. As much as these rabble rousing revolutionaries were willing to risk, they still accepted that the top person was special. BTW - Hillary now leads by 500,000 votes in the Popular vote. If this trend continues in subsequent elections, then I may live long enough to see a change. As Hankster correctly points out, amending the Constitution is a daunting process - and I am getting older day by day!
