text: If we use the popular vote system, the nation as a overall unit will have some benefits in return. In, "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong," by Bradford Plumner, it argues, "voters vote not for a president, but for a slate of electors". This statement is very much true. Citizens may think they vote for president, only to realize that he or she is chosen for them. The worst part of all, most don't know who the electors are. To strengthen, in, "What is the Electoral College", by the Office of the Federal Register, it claims, "the meeting of the electors where they vote for president". If this comes to be true, why even let citizens vote? Under this system, thier votes don't contribute to the presidential election. The presidential election should be by popular vote of the people.
