text: The Winner-takes-all system is ok when your on the playground as a childs it does not work in the real world. This system creates Swing States. Acording to Richard A. Posner "method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates to focuse their campaign efforts on the toss-up sates". This draws attention away from other states. Bradford Plumer explanes that "During the 2000 campaign, seventeen sates didn't see the candidates at all". He also clames "puting the fate of the presidency in the hands of a few swing voters in ohio". This is not right each vote should be just as important as anyother and no state should be the desiding outcome in an election.
