Before we all forget, President Abraham Lincoln won the Electoral College with less than 40 percent of the popular vote in the 1860 presidential election, He then turned out to be the right person at the right time and also — before we forget — one of our greatest presidents. So I am — and I hope a lot of other people will be also — for keeping the Electoral College just the way our Founding Fathers put it in place.
