Emil is writing about the benefits of the Electoral College when he finds the following editorial written about its drawbacks.

Every four years, the United States selects a president through the Electoral College. The Electoral College is an unfair system that reduces voters’ power in some states and increases voters’ power in others. On three occasions, the system has resulted in the election of a president who received fewer votes than an opponent. In 2000, George W. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore. Bush received about five hundred thousand fewer votes. But he won the presidency because he had the most state electoral votes. The outcome of the 2000 election led to calls to end the Electoral College.
