text: I am aware that the Electoral College has some flaws but nothings ever gonna be just the way you want right? Under the electoral college system, votetrs vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Also the electoral college is unfair to voters. It is unfair becuase of the winner-take-all system in each state. Candidates dont go to states they know there not going to win in. The Electoral College is outdated and irrational. But the best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality.
