text: In the electoral government voters dont vote for the president but for state of electors and i thinks thats wrong and then they turn and elect the president. It is called a disaster factor in 2000 there was al gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency over 60%of the voters would prefer a direct election. They dont want the one we now have. If you vote for a president youd vote for a slate of  democratic electors pledged to the president you want to vote for. The elcotors can be anyone not holding public office. And it depends on the state you live in on who is a elector sometimes people get confused and vote for the wrong cantidate.
