text: Removing Electoral College and replacing it with election by popular vote is greatly convenient. Citizens in the US right now do not have a say in the president they want to win. Instead of voting for the president they are actually voting for a "slate of electors" according to Source 2 by Bradford Plumer. Electoral College does not represent a democracy which is what this country is all about. This country gives the individuals a right to say and express themselves. When a 4 year term is over and it is time to vote again, the citizens are voting for a group of people, not the actual president. Then, those group of people called electors later vote for the president they would like. Even though in Source 3 is states " But each party selects a slate of electors truested to vote for the partys nominee (and that trust is barely betrayed) is is entirely possible for the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote." Meaning the electoral college can still vote for another president even if it not the party's nominee. It is the electors who choose the president not the people.
