text: So Moving Forward, Source Two called The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of  the system are wrong by Bradford Plumer one of my example for picking this reason is because Richard Nixon, Jimmy, Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, that they all agreed on abolishing the electoral college, and adding that they are not alone, thanks to the quirks of the electoral college winning the popular vote but lost the presidency, over a 60 percent of voters would of perfer a direct election to the kind we have know. Whats wrong with the electoral college? Well, let me tell you under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Who pick the first electors in the first place? I know the answer to that it depends on the state. Its sometimes the states conventions, the states party central committee, and the presidental candidates themselves. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair voters because of the winnere take all  system in each state, candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chances of winning and focus on the tight swings states that they may have a chance in. Its offical the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. This is why the electoral college system is wrong.
