e it has also been proven to have its flaws. It allows for elector to go against the will of the people in more than half of the states in The Union, and the Electoral College doesn’t always reflect the views of the people. Even when all electors vote their party, there can still be a discrepancy between the popular vote and the electoral vote.To further expand this idea, we can ask ourselves whether our electoral process is democratic or not. I suppose you must specify what the word democratic means. If one takes the word in the context of a Pure Democracy, our process is by no means democratic. Unless the people directly elect the president, we will never have a purely democratic election. At the same time, one must look at the form of government we have. It is not a pure democracy it is a republic! Based on this simple fact, I must say the election of our president is not completely democratic, but like our republican form of government, it is a variation of democracy.Whether you think the process is democratic or undemocratic, fair or unfair, you can never really say for sure if our system provides us with the best candidates or the best presidents. I feel that our current system provides us with the best candidates. The people, most of whom they will represent in the election, directly elect candidates. In earlier times in the US this hasn’t rung true, but thanks to reforms, it now does. As far as the president is concerned, that one is a little more complicated to assess.

Also, elections such as the 2000 and 1876 have shown us that the will of the people is often not reflected in the election of a president. I would propose a system that would be more accurate in reflecting the people’s will, without yielding total control of the process to the gener...
