text: America has always been about the people? With the Electoral College it's the people's choice with a twist. "voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors," it would be much simpler if the candidate you voted for would just be elected, and also democratic to choose that way...totally giving your vote to a group of people. Although their hasn't been numerous situations in which the Electoral College vote will dosen't win the national popular vote...It still happened and also a possibility that it can happen again! Why have two different types of votes when you can easily have one vote? "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population)" the vote is America broken in one whole breaking up the population in each state, which is equivalent to breaking us up in 13 colonies. We should be considered one!
