text: Now, dont get me wrong, i know that the electoral college exists for a reason, according to source 1, it says "The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a comprimise between election of the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens." Which makes complete sense, and people should know their rights and all of the information about voting. But times have changed and people want to be involved now more then ever so when you give them a paper and tell them to pick who they want as their leader, they want their opinion to matter and to make a difference which i know that in some aspect, it does influence the outcome to a certain degree, but the electors votes still have the power to overthrow the rest of the united states citizens no matter how large the percentage of the popular vote is.
