text: The Electoral College does have some good reasons its still in power. In source three written by Richard A. Posner, he states that " . . . the pressure of the presidential election process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winner." In other words, when there is a run-off election or tie, the electoral college brings down this pressure making the choice so its quicker to make a choice on who becomes president. Sadly, very few people find the Electoral College useful but they do do a lot of things that help make the elections easier on the voters and putting less pressure on the candidates.
