text: The electoral collage some people might call it unfair or a disaster factor because it's not the people chosing the president it's the electors. The popular vote just chooses which person is more well liked not who people think will make the country a better place and so far no one is doing so. The Electoral college has a slate of trusted electors that has a certain party's nominee and the trust is rarely ever betrayed. Despite the Electoral College's lack of democratic process it's certainty of outcome is good as for example Obama's winning he received 61.7 percent of the elctoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of the popular vote.
