text: To me I believe that the Electoral College is cruel and unusual punishment, because they are not giving citizens their voting rights. They make it seem like the citizens are going to be the ones voting for the president but in reality the citizens are actually voting for electors whom are going to be voting for the president. The Electoral College is regarded as an anachronism that should be overuled. Its declaring the canidate with the most vote to be the winner, which is not really giving the citizens the chance to vote for they want to be their president. Advocates are arguing about the Electoral College not being a modern sense, and how it is the electors voting for the president and not the people/citizens. When citizens vote for the president they dont actually know that theya re voting for a slate for the elelctors.
