text: Most americans may prefer a direct election over the kind we have now. (source 2: paragraph 9) "... according to a poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency" Americans think that by choosing our leader by popular vote their votes will be represented more . Americans are also scared of a tie between candidates since the electoral vote numer is a even number ( 538 in total ) but they only need 270 to win the elections. They shouldnt be worried about this a tie could happen but is mostlikely never going to happen. The biggest complain about the winner take all system is that it is unfair to voters since cindidates campaign in big states or states with a lot of electoral votes , they dont spend time on states they know they have no chance of winning . ( source 2: paragraph 13) "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." but this isn't completely true , the winner take all method motivates candidates to focus their efforts on the " toss-up " states. Voters in these states really listen to the competeting candidates knowing they are responsible for deciding the election . "But of course no voter's vote swings a national election .." "Voters in presidentia elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election " (source 3: paragraph 23) One persons vote is not going to decide the election so no matter what point of view yu look at it from , electoral vote is the best way to choose our leader .              Seeking different opinions from people can help make your decision better, because They're all going to say something different to help make a better choice for yourself. Plus, when you ask different people they might give you different perspectives to help find your awnser, and make it better. If you only ask one person they might not help you enough, or they might not give you the awnser you wanted. So that's why you need to ask different people so they can help make your awnser better. It can also help you make better choices in life. So you know what to do, and what not to do. It might also help you have a better understanding of what you asked. Also, is someone asked you a question you would know what to say and do, because you've already been in a situation like this. All in all, these are things that can help you with advice and how to awnser stuff.The electoral college  has been used for many years. Most people think that it is a place and not a process , well it is a process. the electoral college is the selection of electors. for the process they need 538 electors, for 270 electoral votes. Each canidate has their own group. The presidential election is held every  four years to elect or keep the same president for 4 years. I think that its the way to vote ,and its worked for so many years why fix it if its hasnt had a problem yet.
