text: First off i want to start with on how it will allow votes to have a certainty of outcome. In the source 3: in defense of the electoral college: five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president by:  Richard A. Ponser he talks about that a dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote is possible-it happened in 2000-but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the electoral college invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. Also he talks about winner-take-all basis, and that even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in the state. From what i understand is that electoral college helps create a winner-take-all basis.
