text: Their has been many mishappens because of the Electoral College. For example, from an excerpt called "The Idefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong" says "The single argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disastor factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worst." This shows that the electoral college does do damage to the United States because they let a huge crisis happen during the elections. They could have let it get even worst because they allow it to and make it easy to make things worst in certain crisis.
