text: In addition, the election by popular vote seems more better. For example, "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but or a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Why is it that we arent actually voting for a president? That other people are technically voting for us. If we were to vote by popular vote people would actually feel like they are voting for who they want in office."Consider that state legislatres are technically responsible for picking electors and that those people could always defy the will of the people." So much time goes into election day but for what? We just vote for how we feel but not for who we vote for.
