text: To some, the electoral college is unfair because of the winner-take-all system in each state. Candidates usually only go to "swing" states. "Swing" sates are states with tight races. This, if fact, is not fair at all because some states don't even get to see the candidates. In our second source, it clearly states that in he 2000 campaigne, 17 states didn't see the candidates at all.
