text: The Electoral College has been in place for many years and has produced good results.  One good thing the Electoral College does is it prevents a candidate from becoming President if they only have regional appeal.  This is crutial because "a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president" (Posner).  With the Electoral College in place it makes it impossible to for a candidate with only regional appeal to become president because no region has enough electoral votes to elect them.  Another helpful thing the Electoral College does is it has a certainty of outcome, so it is less likely for disputes than popular votes.  It is less likely for disputes because "the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote" (Posner).  Even if a state has a few more votes for the Electoral College it still creates a huge victory.  Even though the Electoral College has produces some good results, presidents being elected through popular vote will be better, more efficient, and more equal.
