text: The popular vote system is a more fair system, one of many reasons being that it would eliminate the advantage large and "swing" states have over others. Currently, "swing" states are being given more attention to be the candidates because the candidates realize that the fate of their presidency may be dependent upon these states (Sources Two and Three). Since the Swing states are the ones who's votes can go either way, the candidates spend more time with these states in order to insure their likelihood to achieve the states electoral votes. This is not a fair process because the other states are not getting to know the candidates like these states do. The same thing goes for large states. Since the number of electoral votes you have is dependent upon population, the larger states have more electors/representatives. Therefore, the presidential candidates want to achieve as many electoral votes as possible and will make sure to appeal to the larger states, leaving the smaller states at a disadvantage due to misrepresentation. The popular vote system would take everyone into account evenly, and therefore represent everyone fairly, and make for a better voting system.
