text: So why do people want to aboplish the electoral college completely? Because there are some serious things wrong with it. "perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote" (Source 2, Paragraph 4). How can there be a tie in the election of the president? Perhaps because sometimes the electors get to thinking in another midset and vote for the wrong candidate...Yes that is poosible. When people vote for there candidate the electors are the ones being selected and aren't always the way they were in their chosing so therefore there can be a serious tip in votes if the electors don't vote for the candidate of the party they were selected by. "In 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a diect election" (Source 2, Paragrph 1). The people don't want the electoral college anymore, Who's to say they ever did?
