text: In Richard A Posners In Defense of the Electoral Collage he states that the Electoral Collage is good because of the " swing states" wich he then says " The voters in toss-up states are more likely to be the most thoughtful voters because they know they are going to decide the election" in saying this he means that people who live in swing states will be more careful and more thought out on who they want to vote for. Yes this might be true but what about all the non swing states like for example Texas they could have been careful while voting but Florida was not, then you have Ohio and New Mexico who could have been careful to but compared to Florida their votes get lost even though they were more careful and thoughtout.
