text: Many poeple believe that we are voting for the president when we vote for our electors, but in reality, we are voting for them to vote. We, as the people of the United States of America, have always had the right to freedom (freedom of speech, religion, ect.)- so why don't we have the freedom to directly choose our president? In the source, 'The Indefensible Electoral Coolege: Why even the best-laid defences of the system are wrong', it states "...voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." This means that we do not vote directly, only for someone else to decide our fate. Written in the text fo the first source, 'What Is the Electoral College?', it reads "...when you vote for your canidate you are actually voting for your canidate's elecotrs." With this method, we are never getting results directly, only becoming the middle-man when we should be front and center.
