text: When our founding fathers sat down and decided to right up our federal government system, they argued emensly on voting and how it should go about. when they finished bickering and developed this system, they made sure everything had a checks and balances type of layout. With the Electoral College, " you vote for the elector and they vote for president and vice president, and then congress counts the electorial votes". This idea is more benefitial then just having a majority vote for obvious reasons. With the electoral votes and populus votes it makes it harder to choose a president just by a single vote advantage.
