text: Of course, there are many valid points why the Electoral College is still a good system and should be kept. "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region (South, Northeast,etc.) has enough electoral votes to elect a president..." (Posner,19). This stops one specific region of the US, especially if the president is dominantly popular in that region, from being the main decision for president, so every state in every region has a fair chance in deciding the president. Also, "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution..." (Posner,21). This gives larger states that have more voting citizens a bigger influence on the desision of the president than smaller states that have less voting citizens unlike how the Senate gives an equal number of representatives to each stater reguardless of the states size. However, all these arguments to keep it lack good logical reasoning and are outdated. So, we should abolish the Electoral College and give the choice of the election to the people through popular vote.
