text: We should adopt the popular voting when electing a president because it is what the citizens of said country prefer.  According to source 2: "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now.  Is this country oblivious to the fact that they are forcing citizens to participate in voting in a way that they do not enjoy?  This country is supposed to give the citizens what they want, and are instead doing the opposite.  Citizens also would like to have the person who is in command of said country someone they like and or choose, not some other candidate choosen with the least amount of votes.  Do what the a majority of the citizens want instead of what the leaders of the country want. Obviously, we should abolish the electoral college and participate in popular voting because it is what the citizens of said country prefer.
