text: we shouldnt have an electoral vote because as always there would be a close election and the person with the popular vote can somtimes lose the presidency "and yet the electoral college still has its deffenders what gives". The bad thing is knowyone really votes for the president with an electoral college depending on what state you live in you"ll have a certain amount of demacrat for the person an a certain amount of republican and depending on who you chose theyll get those 34 votes why is that fair.
