<span>The Electoral College
helps to legitimize the election as it forces candidates to win not just a
majority, but a super-majority. This is because it requires candidates to win a
majority of votes in a majority of states (or, at least, a majority of large
states). The Electoral College creates a clear winner in cases where the
popular vote is very close</span> helping to avert disputes. The Electoral
College forces candidates to pay attention to all voters and not just those in
certain states or cities. The Electoral College protects and empowers
minorities by compelling candidates to focus on their issue given their
influence in certain states.
