text: Secondly, Plumer claims "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. (The senate would choose the vice-president.) Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represnt 35million voters." This method is rediculous. A state with one representative should not have the equal amount of power as a state with 55. If popular vote is made the way of electing then the odds of a tie would be nearly impossible. Also Plumer adds, "Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency." This means more people thought he was better suited to be the President of the United States, but Bush won because of the "quirks" of the electoral college. All in all, the electoral college is unfair, and creates more problems then popular vote.
