Is your vote REALLY going to count?

The Electoral College needs to be done away with. Lets face it if you live in California or New York, for example, and you vote for McCain your vote really doesn't count. Same thing in Texas, if you vote for Obama, your vote really won't count.

Why do we still have this archaic system? Why don't we just go by Majority wins. Period.

Why should the voters in "swing states", Ohio for example, be more important than voters in any other state?

The electoral college, established in 1787, may have been ideal when the US was sparsely populated, but why is it still needed now?
