text: To start, the Electoral Collage helps in deciding who is gonna be the President.  "Certainity of outcome, everyones President, swing states, big states, and avoid run-off elections" (Posner). The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral Collage invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote" (18). "This is a desirable result because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president" (19). "...the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election" (20). "So, other things being equal , a large state gets more attention from presidental candidates in a campaign than a small state does..." (21). "The Electoral Collage avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast" (22).
