text: The Electoral College helps us by avioding run-off elctions, where the votes are too close to desside a clear winner. It does this by in most states the majority of the popular votes dessides where all the votes go.  "That pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winner."(Posner)  In the 2012 election the populor vote in Florida was very close and if the president was dessided form the popular vote Floride would have had little effect on the eletion, but since the Electoral College dessides the winner, Obama had tweinty nine more votes to his campaign.  "Most states have a winner-take-all system that awards all the winning presidental candidate."(the Office of the Federal Register)
