text: vote for the president. For example, if you lived in Washington and you wanted to vote for [John] Doe, for instance, you would be voting for a slate of about 35 electors pledged to that President. Then the slate of electors vote for the presdient, not the people, and I dont think everyone knows that. Most of the people that know about have said that The Electoral College is a "diaster factor" while the government says that "the American people should consider themselves lucky" WRONG!!!!!! The American people technically can't even vote for their own president becuase "it's against the Constitution" there needs to be a change. Like allowing some people who go in to vote to either: vote for a slate of electors who elect the President or just vote for the president themselves. That way the people feel like their vote actually does count.
