KING: Why do we still have the electoral college, Ari?

 

FLEISCHER: Because it's in the constitution and it's very hard to change the constitution. The history of our country shows it's largely worked. People don't want it necessarily. There hasn't been a groundswell for it. Go to a popular vote system, where really only the largest states get the most representation and smaller states get short shrift.
