text: I support the electoral college because it allows you to voice your opinions in which who you feel should been president. It's also makes you feel that once you voted that your opinion matters. In source 1 they talk about when the "Presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday afterthe first Monday in November." also you help choose youir state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for yor candidate you are actually voting for you candidate's electors.  In source 2 they explain it in more details. "Under the electoral college system, voters votes not for thre president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." They mean that don't matter if you vote for "John Kerry" and he's a Democratic and the number of whoever pledge to Kerry would be added on to his votes. thats why i like the electoral college.
