text: Popular vote has some good asspects to it aswell. Popular vote helps bump up your percentage of votes before electoral college is added, so it makes it an even better chance for the candidate you voted for to win the election. I believe people perfer popular vote because to me if I'm correct popular vote is the amount of votes acandidate got from the people and I know alot of people like it when their choice gets picked and no one else tried to i guess you could say meess with the votes.
