text: Plumer strongly believes to abolish the electoral college. This year he already expects a close election in which the popular vote winner could lose the the presidency yet again, but the electoral college still has its defenders.. In his arguement he would call the electoral college a "disaster factor". The only disater factor on the electoral college is that its not a modern sense.. When you vote for a presidental candidate your actually voting for a slate of electors. The Electoral College needs to be updated in the method of selecting a president.
