The Electoral College

Again, I am not arguing for or against the EC, my question is, what would you replace it with?

If you read my prior post, what I was pointing out is that ALL governments in the world are run by humans, thus will always be subject to manipulation and corruption. It still depends on those in an open society to value the system they live under. 

Germany was an open democracy post WW1 and still was manipulated and fell.

Even in a Parliamentary system like England, they have a Mini Me Trump running things.

Tell me, what is the job of the EC?

It seems to me that it's only job is to go against the voice of the people and elect whom it wants.
