text: The popular vote is what a Democracy is all about. "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachorism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the electoral college is not democratic in a modern sense" (In Defense of the Electoral College: Five Reasons to Keep our Despised Method of Choosing the President, Richard A. Posner). There is no point in having the people vote if they aren't voting for what they need as a nation. We have brought our nation together so that they can decide on someone to watch over them and protect them.
