text: The chances of it turning out to be a tie aren't low. Accoring to Source 2: "The Indefensible Electoral Colleg: Why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong", a tie has happened before. States have sent two states of electors to Congress. Although it happened long ago, it doesn't mean that it won't occur anytime again. Abolishing the Electoral College can give a less chance for that to occur. Since staes have the "winner- take- all" system, the candidates don't even spend time or focus on the states that thye know they have no chance in winning in. According to source 2, there were seventeen states who didn't even get to see the election at all, and some votes didn't even get to see the ad of the campaign.
