text: The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. In Electoral College the electors are the one who elect the president not the people and my opinion is that its a good idea because not everyone has the same opinion. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors.
