text: My other reason for us to keep the Electoral College is because it makes it so much easier for them to count up how many votes we get in the whole United States just to chose out president. According to the map on Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, it showes that deppending on how popular or how big the population is in the state, it has more electoral votes. This has nothing to do with how big or small the state is, for example the state of Alaska is the United States biggest state and it only has 3 electoral votes but the state of callifornia wich is very small compaired to Alaska has 55electoral votes. the reasons that they state in Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, are very interesting and can convince you to keep Electoral College. "1) Certainty of Outcome, 2) Everyone's Presiden, 3) Swing States, 4) Big States, and 5) Avoid Run-Off Elections."
