Answer: Because the electoral college makes elections a winner takes all system. For example, by only getting 51% of the population to vote for you from smallest states to largest until you win 269 electoral votes, you can win an election by only having 21% of the pop. vote for you. Many politicians have been looking for alternatives for electoral college due to its controversy.
