text: Personally I believe that the preisential election should be based on popular vote because as citizens of the United States we should be able to help the output of what our futures will look like and be able to choose who we want to lead us. Whichever candidate gets the most votes wins and they become the new president of the United States. Not that  Electoral college is all bad its just when you vote you vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president of thier choice.
