text: The Electoral College is much too confusing. Sometimes voters could be discombabulated about who it is they are voting for. Sometimes voters can't control who the electors vote for. This is both confusing and frustrating for anyone who thinks they voted for someone great, but the electors change that. In "Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong," it says that "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.", meaning that we don't choose for ourselves, they do.
