In sourse 3, number 22 (There is no pressure for run-offelections when no candidatewins a a majorityof the votes cast; that pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, is reduced by the electoral college, which invarable produces a clear winner...) Simply this says that without the electoral college voting can be difficult and stressful.
