text: In 2000, a canidate had more popular votes, and less electoral votes and lost! Even though the people had more votes! How do you feel knowing that your vote doesn't even count? "Most states have a 'winner-take-all' system that awards all electors to the winning presidential canidate"(the Office of the Federal Register,paragraph 7). Because of this system, canidates will not spend time in certain states they know they have no chance in winning in. "During the 2000 campaign seventeen states didn't see the canidates at all"(Bradford Plumer, paragraph 13)
