text: Since our founding fathers established the Electoral College it shows that it is outdated. "The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational" (Plumer, Paragraph 14). This is the twenty-first century, and we need to make our elections more modernized to where every voter is happy. A voter should not vote for an elector and hope that the candidate wins but be able to vote for the candidate itself. Even though there are many people against the Electoral College, it still has its defenders. "This year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency" (Plumer, Paragraph 9). As there are people who believe that whatever our founding fathers established we need to keep our tradition going and not change a single thing, but maybe it's time for a change. "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than poeple who thing that single vote may decide an election" (Posner, Paragraph 23).
