text: First off, the vote really doesnt count if your electors of the state dont come to the agrrement of the president you would want. In the elctoral college the citizen of that particular state vote for the president of their choice. Afterwards it would be up to the number of electors that pledged for that particular president would earn the runners a number of votes that the state has based on their population. The method used for selecting a president maybe effiecent but not correct. It maybe faster and easier to caluclate but which would you rather have? An not so good president that was choosen by some elector. Or a vote based on what the entire country feels. Not off what a certian side of the country are most likely to do.
