text: If we are a democracy then why not give the election to the citizens insted of the ellectors. The President is the leader of our country, so he should lead the way we want him to. And, the only way to make sure of this is by popular vote, so the people directly vote for who we need to lead at that time. The Electoral College has made many mistakes, and stired different prblems before. People also say that a tie is a very unpredictable and risky situation. If it was voted by the Electoral college there would be a higher chance of a tie then by popular vote. if you do the math 538 to1 is a higher percentage chance of a tie then 300,000,000 plus to 1. Popular vote would be a more efficient, less risky, and a moral and ethical system.
