The same is said about the US right to bear arms.  We failed to maintain
our Constitution (the Magna Carta) and it is now pretty well obsolete.

You are doing exactly the same with yours.  The electoral college system is
a hangover from the day when votes couldn't be moved because the Pony
Express couldn't handle the logistics - it should be swept away in the
electronic world.
