text: The Electoral College process is in use currently, and though many people disagree with it, it would ultimately be better than popular vote. We have to put faith in the electors we vote for,  this makes it less likely any of them are crooks. When people vote for an elector, they're voting for who they hope the president will be. While that may not always be the case, it's very likely the elector will vote for that candidate. With this, we'd have to trust the elector with our votes.
