text: What is wrong with the Electoral College? The Electoral College system voters vote not for the President but also for a slate of electors, whom which in turn to elect the President. The Electoral College is an anachronism. "The Electoral College is not a democratic in modern sense, its the electors who elect the president not the people." For exmaple President Obama received 61.7% of the electoral vote comparison to 51.3% popular votes casted for him and Romney.
