text: If I were old enough to vote I would want to pick the candidate who I thought would be able to lead my country in the right direction. But if the election is based on popular votes, I would feel as if my vote didnt matter. What if many people voted for one candidate but the popular vote selectes the other? Then people would feel like there is no need for voting. We should be able to pick our own president rather than having other people decide for us.
