text: To my understandings, we still use our Electoral College to vote for the President of the United States. So basically, whenever we vote for a President, we're basically voting for a slate of electors. But you probably already knew that. I thought the whole point of voting was to vote for who we want, not pick someone on the side to vote for us. To me, it is only fair that we rid of the Electoral College and change it to an election by popular vote.
