text: To begin with, the electoral college is not a good idea becuase it allows citizens to have a voice and it is not decided by people that already run oour country. If we resorted to this method, there might be a higher voter turn out because the citizens will feel that they really have a say in who runs the country. They won't think that if they vote for one person  and they win, that some lousy people in Congress will come in and make a different decision and go against the majority. This will make more and more people want to make a difference in the country. Then we will have more concered citizens and the U.S. will be a better all around country. As stated in Source two, "voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." That fact is why we should absolutly not have an electoral college. Then if we don't have an electoral college then we will have a higher voter turn out. Then after that, the good ole USA will be a better country than all of the other countries in the world ccombined except for our health and education. That is just one reason why should not have an electoral college.
