text: To start off with, the electoral college shoudl be changed because in soure 2: " The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenes of the system are wrong" the author Bradford Plumer states "voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (paragraph 10). What Plumer is saying is that the people who vote dont vote for the president, but for the people hwo come with him. Even though it should be the president you should be voting for. He does control our country and our future of what might happen. So why should the electoral college be voting for the slate of electors? Also in source 1: "What is the Electoral College" the author statea "election of the President by vote in congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens." (paragraph 1). The author is saying that the candidates have electoral votes and individual votes. Why have both though? Shouldnt a citizens vote matter more than a electoral because we know who might be best for us? The electoral college probaly doesnt even listen to the canidate, only their electors slate which is not fair. It should be the canidate who seems to be best for us instead of who works best for the president.
