text: Say you vote for an elector and he loses, then what is the point in your vote. Everyones vote should count right? But with the elecoral college system not everyones vote counts twards the presidential election. What about those few republican voters in a population that is mostly democratic. Thats why the Electoral college system should not be used anymore. In the 2000 election Al Gore actually had more votes than George W Bush, but because of the Electoral college system George W Bush was elected because he had more electoral votes than Gore. The Article "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses or the system are wrong" by Bradfor Plumer states "the single representatvie from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters". What about all those other voters whos electors didn't win, shouldn't they have a say in who our leader should be?
