text: Overall, the Electoral Vote may not represent the Popular vote. As mentioned, there have been incidents in the past that have indicated the truthfulness of this statement. For example, in 1960 John F. Kennedy was almost opposed by unfair elections due to our country's people being misrepresented (Source Two). Even if the popular vote of our state goes one way, the "'faithless electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please..." (Source Two). The electors are unreliable and may go one way just because they please to do so while leaving the faithful citizens in the dust with their decisions and votes meaning nothing. The popular vote system would better represent the people than the unreliable Electoral College system we have now.
