Comment: I've heard many people attempt to defend the Electoral College and have yet to hear anything close to a compelling argument.  It is a terribly unfair and undemocratic system that clearly conflicts with the sacred idea of one person one vote.  It disenfranchises millions of citizens giving power to the minority to impose it's will on the majority.Can you imagine if the tables were turned and the Republicans had lost to presidential elections while getting the most votes?  They would be screaming from the rooftops for democracy. 

Take a look at a map of campaign visits state by state by the two major party nominees.  They spend virtually all of their time in a handful of states ignoring the rest of the country.  If you believe that every vote should count and that all states should be listened to, then you should be working to throw the Electoral College in the trash bin of history where it belongs.
