text: When voting and following the rules of the electoral college, many voters get confused. As is says in source 2, many voters vote for the wrong person. They also don't always get controll over who they vote for. Say they voted for one canidate to be their state senator, well with that one person comes many people that have "pledged" themselves to that canidate. They would be voting for the canidate and these many people that have pledged themselves to him and they don't even know it.
