text: Of course there are people who agree with this method of voting, but i am not one of them, and neither is Bradford Plumer. In Bradford's excerpt from "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong", He explains to us the injustice of the electors that we vote for. Most of the time electors stay with their party's candidate, but sometimes they can be persuaded to switch sides. How would you like it if you and the majority of your state voted for a certain president through your states electors, and they went and stabbed you in the back(figuratively) and voted for the other president. You have just been cheated out of your vote! That doesnt sound very democratic to me.
