text: As for my second reason, that the electorial collge is unfair to voters. Electors may not always be faithful to their party, as said in ' The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong' electors could vote for another canidate if they refused to vote for their party's canidate. Meaning that if a voter votes for a certain elector to vote for a certain President, then their votes probably wouldn't count. Also, because of the winner-takes-all system, candidates do not spend time in states that the are aware that they have no chance of winning them over, but focusing on the 'swing' states. For example, in the 2000 campaign, 17 states didn't see canidates at all and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't see a single campaign ad. Candidates shouldn't just avoid states that they have no chance in, but take that chance.
