text: "The electoral college invariably produces a clear winner," says Posner in his article.  A way of producing a clear winner is by having swing states.  Some people argue about the Electoral College turning off potential voters, (Democrats in Texas) but this may actually determine the election.  If those other party people dont vote who knows mabey if they had voted their party might have been luckly.  Statistics prove that when certaint parties win contriversial states thats because some people from 1 party didnt vote.  No voting especailly in swing states can make your party, or your wanted candiadate loose the election.  Every year some of the swing states change so everyone should vote especially those in the swing states to insure your party or your candidate win.
