text: I believe that the Electoral College is wrong for the simple fact is that you do not know the intentions of the reperesentors. For example, in article "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" it states in section "What's wrong with the electoral college" that "Back in 1960, segregations in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic eletors with new electros who would oppose John F. Kennedy. (So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kenndey.) In the same vein, 'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please.... Oh, and what state sends two electors to Congress? It happenend in Hawaii in 1960. Luckily, Vice President Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the Senate, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so 'without establishing a precedent'" This ststement shows that whoever is running can overthrow the other by chaning the mind of their electors.
