text: Although electoral college may be called outdated, irrational and unfair (Brandon Plumer 14). This isnt true because if it were so outdated and unfair it would have been substituted or changed by another system but it has remained because of its effiecency. This system is certaintly not unfair because  as stated in a article by Richard A. Posner,he explains "each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)." As for the irrational portion of the opposing view, as stated in " in defense of the electoral college..." article has mutiple reasons but one of them is "The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal."
