text: Our votes are just a back up plan and we are not important. "The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast." (Posner, paragraph 22) If the eclectoral college leads to a tie our votes become the tie braker but that method has never been use so why are we even voting? " It is the electors whyo elect the president, not the people." (Posner, paragraph 15) Because the electoral college is voting for which "package" they think is best they believe that our opinions are unimportant and they know what is best beyond what we believe. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of elecetors, who in turn elect the president." (Plumer, paragrph10) Our votes are just a second optiion and is not resonible and fair to each and every american who truly believe that they can make a diffrenece when they truly cant because they are an "extra."
