Is this something Congress and the President can get rid of or is this up to the states?

Well yes, because the United States is not a democracy. It's a republic. We aren't governed by mob rule, thank God.

That said, this poll is dumpster. It's a tiny sample and according to their own results, the number of people who support abolishing the Electoral College is historically LOW.

I've never heard anyone explain how that analogy makes sense in this context. How does the electoral college change this scenario? How does it help the sheep? What even is the sheep?

I'm pretty sure that's the big reason why the census even exists.

A republic is a type of democracy.
