I agree with Matthew Spearman, in that the direct popular vote should be how the president is elected. We should have a pure democracy so that when we vote, it will be counted towards the person we want to be in office, as opposed to voting for the people who will represent your vote in your state. People would feel that they are actually making a difference in voting because their vote would be directly affecting the person elected so more people would. As witnesses to the crisis in 2000, I am sure none of us would want to see the failure of the electoral college again. Using the electoral college is a 200 year old process that needs to be adapted to fit the wants and needs of us-the United States citizens.
