One argument for doing away with the Electoral College is that it doesn't always represent the will of the majority of the voters. As seen in past elections, a candidate who wins the popular vote may lose the presidency due to the way the Electoral College is structured. This means that the views and preferences of the majority of the American people may not be accurately reflected in the election results, which goes against the principles of democracy. Furthermore, the Electoral College often favors certain states over others and can lead to candidates focusing more on swing states rather than the needs and concerns of the country as a whole. Therefore, many argue that a popular vote would better reflect the will of the people and lead to fairer and more democratic election outcomes.
