Three flaws with the Electoral College system include the potential for a candidate to win the presidency without winning the popular vote, which has occurred in several elections. Additionally, the winner-takes-all approach in most states can lead to disproportionate representation, where votes are effectively 'wasted' on losing candidates. Lastly, the system can create unequal weight among votes, as smaller states have a higher number of electoral votes relative to their population, skewing the influence of individual voters based on their state of residence.
