text: there are many, many issues with the Electoral College. It states, "The American people should consider themselves licky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and thay those electors could always defy the will of people." In other words, humans will be humans and they are capable of betraying others. There are many evil people in the world and the Electoral College does not realize that.
