text: To Briefly Continue, The Electoral College isn't a good system to use in my opinion. But the System dosent waste a lot of time. This is probaly the only reason they still use it today. All they do is go state by state seeing the candidates group of electors  votes. This process takes about 3 to 4 Hours to see what candidate won to be the president of the United States Of America. The President election is held every 4 years, on the tuesday after the first monday in November. But this is another reason why the Electoral collge system needs to be changed to popular vote.
