text: While the winner-takes-all system is unfair to those who do not agree with the side the state chose overall, it provides a clear system to clearly elect a new president. Candidates always try to persuade states, oftening visiting them to sway them to vote for electors that will go to elect them instead. Looking on the results, it's safe to say the Electoral College, as upsetting as it can be,  is a voting system that should stay until we can find a better one. Abolishing the system might make it more of a direct vote, but the Electoral College is organized.
