text: In addition, the Electoral College makes voters feel discouraged and disenfranchised. According to "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President" by Richard A. Posner, it is stated, " No region...has enough electoral votes to lect a president...residents of the other regions are likely to feel...that their votes do not count...that he really isn't their president." This means that voters feel that the presidnet they chose is their president because they believe their votes count.
