text: For starters, the electoral college is non-democratic. How can a nation that prides itself on being a democracy not have a democratic way of electing its president? With this electoral college system voters do not vote for the president instead they vote for their states electors which presents a problem in my opinion. As stated in "Source 3" "each party selects a state of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is RARELY broken)." While some may feel that a system that is rarely broken is acceptable i do not because this is such a big event in our country and we can not afford to have a flawed system. The trust of an entire states vote can not be put in the hands of one elector. America does not get what its people want through this system as you can tell when "Source 2" states "Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college -won the popular vote but lost the presidency." This is not a Democratic way of doing things as the people should be able to elect there president and not have a state of electors do so for them.
