text: In addition, the Electoral College voting method is better than voting by popular vote.  With Electoral College, we're less likely to have a dispute.  A lot think that a dispute over an Electoral College could not happen.  According to "In defense of the Electoral College: Five Reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President", a dispute is possible.  A dispute happened in 2000, but it's less likely than a dispute over popular vote.  The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College rarely exceeds his share of the popular vote.  The third source gave an example of the Obama and Romney election.  Obama recieved 61.7 percent and Romney recieved 51.3 percent of the electoral vote.  Making a certain outcome of the election, and not resulting in a dispute.  Also, with Electoral College we avoid a run-off election.
