text: To begin, the Electoral College is fair to the states, leaving fewer disputes. In "Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President", author Richard A. Posner explains that the Electoral College "restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution." The Electoral College gives larger states more attention from presidential candidates as opposed to a smaller state. Posner continues the idea with "the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election." To break it down, voters who pay close attention to the campaign will be the most thoughtful voters and they will recieve the most attention from the candidates. This reduces the amount of disputes because the presidential candidates will decide on who to give the most attention to.
