text: Although I think that the Electoral College is useless others think it is. One of these people is Richard A. Posner who states in his article that it is entirely possible that the  winner of the national popular vote will not win the election but this happens rarely. He also states that "The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense. It is the electors who elect the president,not the people." This is proof that even thouh people defend the Electoral College, the popular vote system is the more democratic and right way to elect the president.
