text: Along with being unfair to the voters, the Electoral College can also be unfair to other people as well, for example, the canidates actually running for president. In an article that is for the Electoral College, it states that, "...the electoral college is not democratic in a modern sense...it is the electors who elect the president, not the people" (Source 3). Does this mean that the Electoral College may have been a good system a while ago, and maybe not as good this day in age? Yes, it does. Also, in the article, it states, "...it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote" (Source 3). That being said, there is always a chance that the result of an election will not be what the country as a whole wants, but what the electors want.
