text: Now, this method works because no one region has enough votes to elect a president. So if a region with ahigh population wants on president, they might get them if it was down to poplar vote, thought with the electoral collage, the chocie has to be a fovorite regionwide. not one region such as the south or the northeast can be an absolute deciding facor, like the popualr vote method. The presidents who know they will will win a state or even a region will not bother campaging in that stae if they alreay know they will win it.
