Of course. Even if you ignore the bizarre method for allocating electors that strips votes away from more populous states in order to give extra votes to small states, the fact of the matter is that the electoral college, as presently constituted, allows 538 faceless party hacks to override the verdict of their constituents and elect any random 35-year-old natural born citizen they choose to the most powerful office in the country. This is a horrible, horrible system and it needs to be scrapped immediately.
