I think one point that has been missed in all of this discussion is that the members of the Electoral College aren't bound legally to vote for the candidate their state chose. I think that might be a little bit of the friction people feel about the process. Maybe people might feel a little bit better if the electors themselves were removed, and the process of the electoral votes is automatic, to elminate the "rogue" electoral voters.

I myself don't have a problem with the whole Electoral College concept, but I do have a little bit of uneasiness about the big loophole that doesn't bind an elector to vote for who their state wants. It has never been a problem in the past, but to me that isn't a reason to keep that loophole open.
