text: The electoral college process has the govenor prepare a "Certificate of ascertainment" listing all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of the respective electors. the certificate also declares the winner of the election so people arent even aloud to have a say in the voting process. "during the 2000 campaign seventeen states didnt even see the candidates at all, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didnt get to see a single campaign ad." I think that is completly irrational. The electoral college is widely regarded as a non-democratic way of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes.
