Actually, I'm neither A or B. Because while I do trust my credit card number on the web, that's only because they say I don't have to pay for things if my number gets swiped. But I have no assurances that someone isn't going to crack the third party tallying server and make their own group win.
The point that I was trying to make is that there is no real feasible way to allow everyone to get up and debate the points in question. There just isn't enough time for everyone to put in their two cents. The concept behind the electoral college is that you elect people you trust who have time and will get their voices heard, and through them, your voices. Its no different then a legislative assembly of some sort.
And what's wrong with ideas that were made when people sent messages on horseback? As much as we bitch and whine about the laws in the US, I have rarely heard someone moaning about the constitution itself, which was also created when people sent letters by horseback.
