text: Under the electoral collage system, votets vote not for the prisident, but for slate of elector who there elect the presient. the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. the amercan people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest electoin crisis in a century. consider that state legislatures are technically resonsible for picking electors and those electors could always defy the will of the people. each state casts only one vote, the single  representative from wyoming, representing 500,000 voters,would have as much say 55 representatives from california, who represent 35 millon votes. that  many voters vote one party for president and another for congress.
