text: Indeed there maybe limited control for the people over voting for their canidate;but the electors usually pick whoever the people voted for. The electoral college also is a easier way to decide who wins the election. Theres almost no way there can be a tie in an elctoral vote. Richard A.Posner states,"The winning canidates share of the electoral college invariably exceeds his share of the poplular vote"."[Even if the popular vote winner wins by a little he wins all the electoral votes]"(source 3 p 15).Which means there is no confusion as to who wins.
