Electoral College

The electoral college was created for two main reasons. When the founding fathers of the United States were creating our democracy, they feared a direct election of the Presidency and want to ensure that the President could not manipulate the people's view on him/her and that the election would be run fairly. The electoral college was also created as a compromise to ensure that smaller states had a say in the President and that the voting was not based solely on population and that each state would have at least three electoral votes.
I believe that the electoral college is fair because it does not allow a President to win by manipulating the votes. It is not based on popularity within the state but on what the representatives believes would make a good President for our nation. It is fair because it does not leave room for runoffs to occur and does not leave room for error within the votes. I agree with the electoral college system and think that is fairly represents our voting.
