text: Another is that it's out dated. Lastly each party picks a slate of electors to vote for the party's nominee and it's posible that trust can be betrayed, but that's rare. That is what I think about the Electoral College.                    The dispute over keeping the Electoral College or changing to election by popular vote has been going on for awhile. "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." (Source 1). However not everyone thinks this is fair. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (Source 2) So as a result, it is not the people voting for their president, but it is the slate electors. Voting should be based off of popular vote because theb electors might not always be picked fairly, the "winner-take-all system," and what happens when there is a tie.
