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.
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
No, reform it to go by Congressional district instead of by state.
@MasterShrey214yrs4Y
States should award electoral votes the same way as Maine and Nebraska.
@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.
@8LN4JNK4yrs4Y
I'm sure we can change and think of a better system due to the fact in 2016 and many other years, The electoral vote went against who they were suppose to vote for.. Hillary Cilton lost by one electoral vote which was her for the win so yeah the system we have has flaws, I mean the system is great but only when it isn't being abused.
@8PDNMG34yrs4Y
