text: The people should get the popular vote because if the people wanted the elecltors candidate they would have voted for them instead of voting for the other competitor. Some people don't even vote because they know that even if they did vote the popular vote wouldn't win compared to the electoral college (23). It's also who they wanted not what the electors wanted, and it would make the people happier if they got who they wanted and there wouldn't be a lot people trying to vote out the president.
