text: First of all, if we change elections to be based off of popular vote people will have more say in the elections as to who gets elected. Forr example, when you cast a vote for the president you want to be elected you arent voting for the president, you are voting for a slate of electors who will vote for the president. But if we change it to popular vote you will actually be voting for the president and  vice president them selves instead of voting for a slate.
