text: It is hard to argue that there are some problems with the Electoral College. "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (Bradford Plumer). The public is starting to not like that their vote is not directly going toward the presidential vote but towards a group of electors that decide the fate of the presidency. "the Electoral College method is not emocratic in a modern sense." (Richard A Posner). The public is also starting to feel that this is not a true Democracy with this system. "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people." (Bradford Plumer). The public is starting to not like that feeling that the electors can just turn on the public and not vote for what some people want (and it has happened a few times in the past). "'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please." (Bradford Plumer). That is another worry of the public, no matter what party the elector belongs to, they can vote for anyone they want. "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the elcetion would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president."(Bradford Plumer). The people are also not liking the fact that an elector representing a small amount of people has as much to say as an elector representing millions of people. All and all, it is hard to deny that there are a few problems with the electoral college and that this causes the public to worry come election time.
