text: It is the electers who vote for presiden not the people it is possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the nations popular vote. It happened in 200 when gore had more popular votes than bush but bush had more electoral votes and bush still won the race and became president. You should keep the electoral college throughout history it has helped us in many ways. Lots of people say you should abolish it but give it a few more years and see what happens. The electoral college also stops run off electios this means no candidate recieves a majority of the vote cast. If their is a run off election the people might think the election was rigged or unfair. So please leave the electoral college alone it benefits us in a lot of ways.
