text: There are a few practical reasons the Electoral College, even though it lacks a democratic pedigree, should be retained. Reason one is a certainty of outcome. An example is in the 2012 election, when Obama recieved 61.7 percent of electoral votes, while Romney recieved 51.3 percent of popular votes. A tie, is also possible, seeing as the total number of votes, (538,) is even. Another example is how the electoral college restores some of the weight in political balance, in which large states, population-wise, lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. The subject of the Electoral Coolege's method of selecting a president is controversial in the sense that it may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state, such as Democrats in Texas, or Republicans in California,when they know their vote will have no effect, their incentive is much less than if it were picked by popular vote.    I, one hundred percent agree with the creation that was approached. By the way they explain the technology and advancement in the project it sounds legit, I mean it does have its flaws and improvement But the flaws isn't anything bad, Its just certain area on the rode you have to help more. I think its an wonderfuk idea.
