text: "This year voters can expect another close election in which the polular vote winner could lose the presidency", as said by Bradford Plummer.  Every year Americans fall stricken by dissapointment from the electoral college.  The system of the electoral college is a poor representation of american ideals as canidates do not even bother spending time in non-swing states. According to Bradford Plummer, in the 2000 campaign seventeen states did not even see the canidates at all and 25 percent of the largest media markets did not even see a single campaign ad.  As previously proven, the electoral college must be abolished due to the unfairness of its system.
