text: Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. A president from the south ,has no incentive to campaign in those states, he gains no electoral votes by increasing his plurality in states that he knows he will win in . This is a unfair result because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to ba a successful president. Residents of the other regions are likely to feel as their votes do not count,that the new president has no regard for their interest.
