Yes, I do think that the founding fathers formed a near perfect {because nothing is} system for electing the president. Why do I think the electoral collage is better than a popular election? Because with the electoral collage the people vote and than an elector votes how the people say. Also with the popular election some people could be uneducated and vote for say the candidate with the best hair. One argument you could put against this is people should vote for whoever they want and not be educated. But things like this could bring anger to people that are educated because they knew that the uneducated person threw away there vote on the candidate with the best hair. Although the electoral collage has failed four times I still think that the framers of the constitution came up with the best idea possible. The popular election is still a good idea but there are far more uneducated people than there are educated and that could lead into the vote turning into a popularity contest. Witch is why I prefer the electoral collage.

Regarding the election of 2000 were Al Gore beat George W. Bush in the popular election but Bush won the electoral collage (Which made Bush president) I think that they made the right decision sticking to the roots of the constitution. Because I think that without them sticking to the roots it would stir up much more controversy than Gore wining the popular election and not becoming president. “No matter how hard the loss, defeat might serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out. “
