text: I myself feel this method is great. It leaves room for very few mistakes. The problem with citizens voting diectly for the president can be broken into two categories: uncertinty and underqualification. If the vote were solely based on citizen votes, the statisitcal outcome of the event would be crazy. With the majority of the electoral college applying the winner take all approach, it cuts those numbers down incredibly. It is allot easier to confirm a winner out of 538 votes then it is  to confirm one out of hundreds of millions of votes now isn,t it?
