text: Another con of The Electoral College is a dilemma that has to do with the number of electoral votes given to each state. The Electoral College works in the same way that The House of Representatives does. The number of electors alloted to each state is subjective to the population number of that state. Take a state such as California for example. California is alloted 55 electors. States such as South Dakota and Alaska cant compete with the great power coming from the larger states. In the Congress, the Senate was created to balance it out, but there is nothing in place to balance the importance between large (high density)  states and small (low density) states. Even more worrying is the situation in which there is a tie. In the case of a tie in the electoral college, the election would be given to the House of Representatives, where state delegations would then have the deciding vote.
