Answer: 1. Popular vote means more people would like that canidate to be President, it shouldnt be based on some old outdated system. 2. Swing states are heavily depended on during elections, to lessen the stress electoral college being gone would be beneficial. 3. All votes would matter and not just on the electroal college, if someone were to vote blue and the county voted red, their vote wouldnt be useless.
- It creates the possibility <u>for the loser of the popular vote to win the electoral vote.</u>
- It distorts the presidential campaign, as alluded to yesterday, <u>by incentivizing the parties to write off the more than 40 states</u> (plus the District of Columbia) that they know they either can’t win or can’t lose.
- The Electoral College system <u>further distorts the presidential campaign by causing the candidates to grant extra weight</u> to the parochial needs of the swing states.
