text: I think that we should keep it like this because if we dont have enugh peolple to vote there may be a 100% that there will be a tie. Like in 1976 there was a tie if a mere 5,559 voters in ohio and 3,687 voters in hawaii had voted the other way there wouldnt have been a tie. I do know that under the electoral college system, voters vote for the president ,but for a slate of electors ,who in turn elect the president. I also know that the peolpe who pick the electors in the firs place depend on the state.
