Why the Electoral College?

** Every election kicks off another round of jabs at the Electoral College system. Informative article on kuro5hin.org fills in the background on why it was favored over Direct Election. The main reasons had to do with the limitations on communication in the 18th century, limitations that no longer exist. If there's going to be a change in the EC it needs to start with being informed, and this article does a good job.
