text: by Bradford Plumer he asks "Can voters  control whom their electors vote for?" Then answers himself with "Not always." This may be true but voters do get to vote for thier electors and it is the voters job to vote for the one they believe will choose the right president. The people need to put faith in thier electors, and even if the Electoral College was changed to popular vote they would have to vote for the president and put faith in him or her to make the right decisions for them, is they same basic thing but having electors are just another step.
