Have you ever taken a basic class on the United States government? States vote for the president. That’s what the electoral college is all about. In many states the electoral college has no obligation to use the popular vote for making their decision.

Typical conservative dancing around the point but not addressing it. Sad!

I clearly explained it to you. You seem to think the popular vote is how elections are won. It’s cute but not factually accurate.

You can’t read. I’m saying the popular vote is how the president SHOULD be decided and I’m asking in what way the electoral college is better. Your only suggestion so far holds about as much weight as an anti-tiger rock (“we’re still a union so it’s a good thing”)

I explained why it’s better. It provides a more equal footing for the states. The popular vote shouldn’t be used as it’s a stupid idea. It’s against the structure of our country. We are a republic. We are not a democracy. The founding fathers hated democracy. They knew we needed rails to keep the system working.
