text: I mean we people are still voting we still have the vote just that our vote goes to choosing a certain elector instead of just directly leaving it to the people to vote for a ceratin candiate running for president. By this the number is much smaller since each country is weighed and is worth certain points and decided by electors you choosed to trust to vote for the same president you did. You still are in control just that you choose somebody he/her is not likely to change his or her mind and vote for the exact person you want he or she to vote for. It stated in the article that "Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candiate's politcal party." I say that if the candidate political party chooses the electors then they must be good and the party must be sure the elector won't change his mind out of no where.
