text: You dont have to be the most popular in the nation in order to win the precidency and its a winner take all. According to the "The Indefensible Electoral Collage: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong" by Bradford  Plumer "Voters vote not for the president, but for a slater of elctors, who in turn elect the president." For example when bush was running for precident he was not the most popular in the natuion and Gore was, in the end Bush was elected president for winning more the electoral votes then Gore. This is unfair for many people because more then half the nation didn't want Bush but yet he was elected without the popular vote.
