text: The Electoral College should be kept despite it's lack of giving people a chance to speak up. Although, the Electoral College is a "non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.. it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential canidate you're actually voting for a state of electors." Yes this may be true but, have you thought that they created the Electoral College to help citizens live better? What if, someone with no education comes to vote and chooses someone who wants to take away government funds away from school's? Wouldn't that affect us? In other words, you want to ruin school's life by taking away funds and it doesn't really have to be school it can be anything just beacuse, you had no idea who you were voting for? The Electoral College does allow us to vote, but they make sure we aren't choosing someone who can affect the United States drasticly.
