text: It can be argued that the Electoral College is the better route to go but it could cause voters to turn away on voting for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state, and knwoing their vote will have no affect they will have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.    The Electoral College has been here for many years. Over the past years many people think it is unfair to the voters. There are many conflicts that have risen about it. Without a doubt , the Electoral College is unfair and irrational to voters because they voters are basically voting for no reason. The president they want to vote for doesnt count and instead the votes of the Electoral College do , the electors shouldnt be the only people to vote just because they are qualified doesnt mean only their opinion and choice should be heard. Also , a direct election would be much better and everyones votes count and its equal.
