text: I am arguing in favor of changing the electorol college to election by popular vote for the preesident of the united states. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have know. Basically, in this process, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. The electors could be anyone not holding public offifce. Voters cant always control whom their electors vote for. Voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate.
