text: A really good reason for having the Electoral College is simply recognizefd by saying that it kind of gives us(the citizns of America) the "power" to vote for our president, rather than it being inherited, or voted upon solely by government officials, or some ranom process like in North Korea where Kim Jung Uun gets voted because he basically brainwashed his people into loving him. It gives us a certainty that we can chose the betterment for America. Also, though roughly half of the U.S. might agree, and the other half might disagree, you are entitled to your own opinion, and voting gives you the chance to show your opinion about whom you believe should be able to run our beatiful homeland as our trusted founding fathers once did, as presidnet.
