text: The first arguement against the Electoral College is what is called the disaster factor. The state legislatures are technically responsible for picking the electors for the Electoral College. The disaster factor is when the unpopular canidate wins the election because of electors that aren't faithful to what they say and whom they say they will vote for. These unfaithful electors cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. Also, a state could send in two slates of electors to Congress, making the election more unfair.
