text: Furthermore , In a direct election everyone is treated equally. Unlike , the voting we have now ,  ''If you lived in Texas , for instance , and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry , you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry''. (source 2, p. 10). Voters cant always control whom their electors vote for but voters sometimes can get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. Why have so much going on when you can peacefully just count the votes of the voters and electors together?. Yes , they may be the electors and might have more knowledge of whats going on but they are just people too and everyone is created equally so definitely their votes shouldnt be the only ones actually counted.
