text: Many people say that electoral college is a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. Even though I agree with this position in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Despite the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree; I belive that retaining the Electoral College is what is best for non-liberal or conservative reasons.
