Which reason best explains why the Electoral College is controversial?

The controversy can be seen 2 ways. It can been seen in the truth, and in the excuse. The excuse is that the electoral collage is not one vote is one vote. It is a complicated process where you instead of electing the president, you are electing electors who vote for the president. But the truth is simple. When creating the electoral collage, the founding fathers knew that if they created a popular vote to elect a president, big states (like NY and CA today) would dominate the election. All of the candidates would go there, and nobody else mattered. This system was created so that small states can actually play a impact in elections.
