text: In Defense of the Electora College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President by Richard A. Posner. In thsi source the author states,"But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)...[;however,] it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral voter will not win the popular vote. ... It happened in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush, but fewer electoral votes"(Posner, Line 16). This shows how what the mahjority of the people want to happen, will not always happen in this flawed system.
