Do you believe that a candidate elected by popular vote would be more representative of the nation than a candidate elected by the electoral college? why or why not?

No.

Explanation:

The President is the President of the Land, not President of the People. The reason for the Electoral College was to force Presidential candidates to go out of their way to campaign to smaller communities, instead of only going to populated areas. However, this is slowly changing, but we must understand that not everyone has access to the internet, or even access to a stable internet. The Electoral College ensures that each candidate reaches out to the most people square mile per square mile, instead of just the major cities. Electoral College voters are technically free to vote how they want, but in order to keep their jobs, they are supposed to be the voice of the people. However, generally it is not hard to understand the voice of the people, as typically the party they support's electors are chosen. The Electoral College still has it's place in the country, and will continue to have it for the years to come.
