text: The final factor is the electers themselves. Another cause of the 2000's election being won by the elector college is some of the electors completely ignored their states voters. They decided to place their own vote. If the state is small and one of the candidates have a big lead, it won't matter. Although if they are neck and neck it can be those few votes that decided the election. This would also cause a less liked president to take office. Without the electors there would also be no favoritism. The electors can be choosen by the candidates themselves and can a bias electoral vote from them.
