text: Initially, by keeping the Electoral College individuals are less incentivised to vote if they know there is little chance it will do anything. "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election" (Source 3, 23). However, by implimenting popular vote, many more people will want to vote knowing that even if their side does not get the majority vote in the state, it still counts for something. Also, from that same source it says "The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College methos is not democratic in a modern sense." (Source 2, 15). So one would have to ask if the source is even reliable if it contradicts itself. In addition, even if they usually vote "candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the 'swing' states." (Scource 2, 13). This shows that states with more electoral votes will have more power over the people. Clearly, the Electoral College is a problem and popular vote is a much better way to vote.
