text: Popular votes can most likely end up in a tie and it turns into a crisis. The Electoral College can also become a tie, but it normally does not happen. Also popular votes are not used an it is not organized nor established. The Electoral College was created by important people. The Electoral College is a slate of electors those are what the people are voting for. I think this is good because the electors are proffesional trusted people. Those people will know what candidate is better for the people.
