Edgar letter: Popular vote
In the last presidential election, one candidate received the most popular votes and the other person will become our president. That doesn’t seem right to me somehow. Perhaps it is time to dump the outmoded Electoral College and simply choose our president by direct vote. Back in the beginning years of America, there were no cars, no radios and no public highways. Well, that has changed, folks.
