text: The compare the two topics not one is better than the other and not one can fuction woithout the other. In my perspective it was smart of the founding fathers to create both systems so that the voting would be somewhat fair. In reality even though the popular vote doesn't make a difference it can persuade the representatives of the state to change their mind or it can make them realize that they are making the right decision because of how their state is chosing to vote. This should change their mind because the people elected them knowing that they will vote for who they promised to vote for and will most likely stay true to their state and to their party.
