text: In Addition, its unfair to the presidential candidates. Although a presidential candidate may be well liked by people and "win" by popular vote that does not nessasarily mean the win in the presidency Although I understand the vfact that using the electoral college ensures a winner and avoids run-off elections I still do believe that this process is highly incompotent. The article by Plumer gives the example of the fact that in the 1960's segragationists almost succedeed in fully replacing democratic electors with electors of their choice or in essence ones that opposed of Kennedy. For candidates who place their blood sweat and tears into an election just to have lost by some electors but happend to be well-liked by people is foolish. America is supposed to be a country of the equal, and with the use of the electoral college is the perfect example of why  this country could not be any farther away from equal.
