text: their is some upsides to the electoral college system. "In the winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates- as we saw in [2012's] election-to focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states. . . . Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign.... the more likely to be more thoughtful voters favoring the people of the state." And in the bigger states the electoral college therew are more electoral votes due to the amount of people in the states and in this case more votes equal higher of a chance of the person you picked to become president.
