text: What if the wrong person gets voted in office. What if the person with the majority of the votes still dosent get elected to office and it turns out to be disaterous for our nation. When your electing the president your electing the person who is going to lead our nation for four years! The person who gets elected needs to be favored by everyone. Lets say that the electoral college never exsited and Al gore gets elected in 2000, our country could be in a much better state then it is now. We wouldn't be in as much debt, and mabey we wouldnt be fighting a war in afganistan, but we would never know because the electoral college voted the less popular candidate in office. The article "What Is the Electoral College" by the Office of the Federal Register states " Most states have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate". But shouldnt the winner take all for the majority votes of the whole country? There is alot of lost votes because of the electoral college system.
