text: Secondly, who are the electors? Although these electors are trusted and rarely betrayed, how would we know if it was betrayed during this certian election? What if almost more than half of the electors in every state was influenced,forced or was to "betray" that would be an serious issue the elction of that particular presdient. This is one of the many questions in having a electoral college. The electors can be influenced by the other electors. which cannot be good for our country. these type of decsions should be made by everyone in the country not 12, 45, or 44 elctoral votes. The electoral votes were in the constitution from long ago. These type of systems worked better because the technology wasnt as advanced, but now it is. Why continue on whats already worn out, and out of date?
