text: Like i pointed out before, the Electoral College is very old, Richard A. Posner stated " The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism" back then everyone was okay with not having a say on who runs our country, but now and days people want to be part of it and want to help decide and know that there opinion matters. With the Electoral College, the people don't make that decision, they choose electors to choose the president. It is not democratic and is also not fair or equal because only certain people are being heard. Our choice as a whole should matter more then the electors. (Richard A.Posner) " In 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes." this is called the disaster factor and was the biggest election crisis in a century stated Bradford Plumer. Let's take a moment and let this sink in.
