You have to remember that the country’s citizens are not directly voting for the President, the government simply allocates Electorates in the way that they think is right, so those Electorates can vote for the people. Considering the fact that it is possible for the Electoral College to misinterpret popular votes, it doesn’t seem wise to continue the Electoral College system. Another reason as to why the Electoral College should be abolished is because the process holds a heavy favor towards the concept of a “Two Party System”, preventing smaller third parties from winning. Fairvote.org, a voting information website, states: “Since most states distribute their electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, the smaller party has no chance to gain support without seeming to take this support from one of the major parties. Few people will support a party that never wins, especially when they are supporting that party at the possible expense of their least favorite candidate taking power”
