The Framers of the United states constitution created a process for electing a president that may or may not be a good way of electing the president. Each state choses electors that casts the official votes for the presidents.Some people really the electoral voteing and some people really like the popular voteing.
There are Pro's and Con's to the electorial voteing. One good thing about the Electoral college is that it encourages more person-to-person campaigning by canidates, as they spend time in both the big cities and smaller cities in battleground states. Another one is that the Electoral college, in recognizing a role for states in the selection of the president reminds us of the importaints in our Federal system. One not so good thing as this the Electoral college gives disproporitouate weight to the votes of the citizens of the small states. For example, a vote by a resident of Wyoming counts about four times more, electorally, than a vote by a californian. Another one, is the Electoral college system especially in a close election is subject to the mischief that might be caused by disloyal, or even bribed electors.
i beleive they folowed the process of electing a president but when all the votes were casted in the popular vote were higher to vote for, Al Gore. But the electoral people are smarter then us normal people and said "Bush would be a better president" and so George became our president. It's safe to say that the people didn't even need to vote because it doesnt matter what the popular vote is. It's going to be up to the Electoral people who make the decision.
I don't think its fair for me to want the Electoral college or not want it because, If i did like the Electoral college then all the small states wouldn't have a fair trial against the larger states such as California, Texas, Ect. The larger states would have a better chance to get what they want and the smaller states wouldnt have a good chance to get what they want at all. But it i said that i didnt want the Electoral College then when you cast a vote in. The magority in popular votes wants a certain person but the Electors want the other person, They come in and say "this person is a better choice" Then what was the point of voteing when they chose who it will win anyways. My opinion is in the middle. It could be eaither one
