text: Last but not least, if we switch to the popular vote election process then the right president candidate may not always be elected. This point can go against both sides. The side that supports the Electoral College may say "the people may vote for a certain candidate because of his color or race". The side that supports the popular vote system may say "when we go out to vote it doesn't count towards anything because of the electors in the Electoral College. So why are we even going out to the polls to vote?" Also, with the Electoral College there will not be any run-off elections. In source 3, the passage states "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast".
