text: Some people think that electoral college system should still be there. Source 3 says, "But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)." Even if the electors that are selected and its said that the trust is rarely betrayed, the electors can still betray the person they're voting for and it can happen and it has happened before. It also doesn't say anything about the electors avoiding states that they know won't vote for them and going to states that can swing the election.
