c48cca9e02ad | 5D1A08FC3563 | according to
Bradford Plumer the electoral college is unfair due to the winner take all method which basically states that if you are a big state and have many representatives then you will have a majority of a say when it comes to voting.

c6056bf69714 | 5D1A08FC3563 | In conclusion, the senator should change the voting system for many reasons. First, the popular vote is more reliable and there will always be a winner.

Plumer also writes : "Can voters control whom their elctors vote for? Not always." What does this mean?
