text: Keeping the Electoral Colllege is best for the US, even if it isn't that fair to the people. But first, what is the Electoral College anyways? Well, the Electoral College is not an actual college, its actually a process. The Founding Fathers made it as "a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress, and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens", as stated in paragraph one of the article, lines 3-6. A somewhat tedious task to get voted for a whole entire country, but it gets the job done.
