text: In addition, the Electoral College method does not get affected by the ones who chose not to vote. In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President", author Richard A. Posner states that "knowing [the voters'] vote has no effect [gives them] less incentitive to pay attention to the campaign." But, "voters in presidential electons are people who want to express  political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide and election." This means thatchanging everyone to a single vote will have no effect, too because people will not put thought into who to vote, but they will just vote for whoever.
