The United States Electoral College is the mechanism established by the United States Constitution for the indirect election of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. Citizens of the United States vote in each state at a general election to choose a slate of "electors" pledged to vote for a party's candidate. The Twelfth Amendment requires each elector to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president.

Yes, each person's vote should have equal say and the candidate who the most Americans vote for should win the election.
@63WMKH85yrs5Y
No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the winner take all system and the balance of votes by population should be updated
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
No, reform it to go by Congressional district instead of by state.
@8DQPGJC5yrs5Y
i don't really understand this
@8J9SW6X4yrs4Y
If the people's vote wins then that should be that. Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election, but the electoral college chose Donald Trump. That just means the people's vote didn't even matter then and that's just unfair.
@8PDNMG34yrs4Y
No, but get rid of the electoral college voters.
@8TRBV6Q4yrs4Y
No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally, faithless electors are banned, and we used a ranked choice model of voting.
