text: The Electoral College is outdated unfair and irrational. If the people of the United States of America have the right to vote, their vote should go directly towards the nomine they choose. The popular vote could have a great effect on the campaigns. Why not allow the people to directly vote for the candidate of their choice instead of taking a chance with the electors that could be unfaithful.            The Electoral College has been around for a long time. The Electoral College is a process which consists of the counting of the electoral votes by Congress, meetings of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the selection of electors. It consists of a total of five hundred and eight electors and a majority of two hundred and seventy votes are required for presidency. Electors are choosen by the candidates political party. When voting for presidential elections, you are also voting for your candidates electors too.
