text: First of all, lets discuss the past issue that have happened withe Electoral College system.  The incident in 1960 with John F. Kennedy was a huge disaster.  As said in source 2 "...The Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy."  This is a perfect example of how the Electoral College is a misused way of voting.  They tried to basically sabatage Kennedy's election.  What about other problems that also occur with this system?  The voters can't always control who their electors vote for.  The confusion is a big key factor in the situations also.  voters can easily get confuse about the electors and they will accidently vote for the wrong candidate.
