text: The way that we vote our next president has to change. Election by popular vote is more reasonable and smarter than using the Electoral College. As stated in The Indefensible Electoral College it is stated that "The single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor." The Electoral College  is not a smart way to vote the president because voters are not voting for him, they are voting for the electors of his or her state who could turn around and elect the opposite candinate than what the voter wanted.
