Electoral College Attention Getter?

Tomorrow, I am giving a speech against the Electoral College and why it should be eliminated in favor of a more democratic process where the popular vote decides on elections. BUT, I need a very good, savvy, and smart ATTENTION GETTING statement to start off my speech with. It doesn't need to be long. Just something to grab the audiences attention, but at the same time segue-way into my thesis statement which is that the electoral college should be eliminated. Can someone give me an idea on one I could use or tell me a statement that you would use? I need some insight.
