The Electoral College is the best way to elect the president and vice president of the United States. Out of the many ideas our founding fathers suggested, this one was chosen. It has worked quite well and until the 2000 election, many hadn't questioned this system. Because George Bush won the electoral Vote, and Al Gore won the popular vote, many were debating who should win. Because the larger states determine who our president will be if using the popular vote system, the electoral college was a way for smaller states to get more of a say in the voting process. The electoral Vote is actually based off of the popular vote because when the electors are chosen, it is up to them to have their vote reflect the will of the people they represent. George Bush ended up winning the 2000 election considering how our established system is supposed to work.
Our Founding Fathers looked ahead and prepared for a larger union. Because of their vision, the Electoral College was very helpful then, but is even more helpful now with more states that have greater differences in the population. If these noble men hadn’t planned for the future, our country wouldn’t be as successful as it is today.
I strongly believe that the Electoral College is a fair way to elect our Nations president for it has combined with the popular vote and concludes in making most citizens happy for all states now gets a say in who they want to run our country.
