text: Not only is the electoral college more organized; but it makes the president have to appeal to many regions of people. Richard A. Posner states,"[Not one region has enough votes to win an election so the president has to be liked by other regions as well]"(source 3 p 19).This means that at least half the country must like the candidate for him to win. Swing states are also important in the electoral college. These states are the ones that really care and study who will be the best president. Another statement from Richard A.Posner states,"[People in swing states decide the election and] are the most thoughtful voters"(source 3 p 20).So the candidate must be trying to make sure they please the people.
