text: Looking deeper into the subject, elections by the electoral college are not fair. The first example appears in the method of the "..."winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate"(Office of Federal Register 7). Because of this system, Presidential candidates may not feel the need to campaign to all people, just those of the states with the highest amount of electoral votes(Plumer 13). This goes against the american concept of "all men are created equal", leaving voters feeling undervauled and not important. Second, "A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538- is an even number.." (Posner 18). Although this tie is claimed to be "highly unlikely". However, an election by popular vote would make the conundrum even further unlikely by the general logic of the fact that it is a lot less possible for the opinion of an entire nation to be split down the middle than that of 538 electors. Another issue with a tie in the electoral college lies in how that draw is resolved. The  tie-breaker is left to the representatives in congress, and "Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming...would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California..." (Plumer 12). This simply does not give all the voters equal say in who wins the election. All of these topics and more compressed together represent how un fair the election truly is.
