text: In a election with popular vote the majority of the peoples vote will win. Which in sence makes it fair. In a electoral college every state gets its own number votes and thats the president and others are voted for today. The electoral college consist of 538 votes and need a majority of 270 for them to get heir winner. Also "under the 23rd amendment  of the constitution, the district of coumbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purpose of the electoral college".
