text: Most think that if we have electors we won't have as much trouble getting a person in office. In the eleventh paragraph, in 'Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral Coolege: Why even the best-laid defences of the system are wrong', under 'What's wrong with the electoral college', its speaks of a "disaster factor". The "disaster factor" is when we vote for electors and they defy the will of the people; as this had almost happened with segregationists, nearly making the popular vote for Kennedy not go to Kennedy. As well as the fact that we could easily of had a tie in the electoral vote. As it says in the second source, the matter would fall into the hands of the House of Representatives "...the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president." This means each state has one vote, meaning the will of the people wouldn't have much say in the election.
