Explanation:

REASONS WHY ONE SHOULD KEEP THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

1. The founding Fathers enacted Electoral College for the welfare of the society. They believed the voting of a huge population wouldn't do better of a country but by the educated scholars who would know who to vote.
2. With the involvement of Electoral College, the constitution believed that the counselors would do what they promised and cannot stop doing the good social deeds for the society that they had promised.
3. As it was based on the popular vote, it promises the outcome of the presidential election.

REASONS WHY ONE SHOULD NOT KEEP THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

1. As the Electoral College takes the interest of the educated scholars the focus of the people is ignored which builds a great barrier towards the people and the government.
2. The ignorance of the society makes the constitution depend on the 'swing states' and neglect other states.
3. In today's time, the voters do not really focus on the methods of the Electoral College as it has turned irrelevant and considered something really old.
