text: I truly believe that if it all was based on the popular vote the world would be at piece... everyone wouldn't feel like the government or others discared their opinions and just did what they wanted. Instead, they'd feel like they got a good try out of it and was able to fight just a tad bit for what they believed to be right instead of being knocked down and told their opinions do not matter. It would also give an accurate vote. The Electoral College is minimized to 538 people being able to vote for the president and a majority of 270 electoral votes are required to elect the president giving the candidates a less of a chance to win. With the popular vote it gives them more of a chance to win the election.
