• The democratic process warrants an extremely high level of security, but the security measures can not be so cumbersome to voters that the new process would prevent participation. ...

Supporters of direct election argue that it disenfranchises no one, since it gives everyone an equal vote, regardless of which part of the country they live in, and oppose giving disproportionately amplified voting power to voters in small states. In contrast, the Electoral College disenfranchises those voters in every state who cast their votes for the candidate receiving fewer votes in that state. And it also partly disenfranchises voters in larger states by reducing their proportional contribution to the final election result. ...
• Opponents also point out that the Electoral College assumes that voters within states vote monolithically, when in fact this is not the case. ...
