text: Futhermore, the Electoral College is unfair and irrational to voters because the candidates they "vote" for don't spend time with them. Sizes matter to the candidates. According to "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer, it is stated, "...the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-takes-all system in each state, candidates do't spend time in states they know have no chance of winning..." This quote conveys that because some states are small in population and size, they will not help the candidate succeed. This is immensely discouraging to the voters because they feel worthless for not being big in size. Candidates should not have an excuse to not thank all their voters because every vote counts, not matter how small.
