text: To commence, the Electoral College has been the way we choose our president and vice president for many years now. There hasnt been any problems with it. So why the need to change it? Many people beliee that the Electoral College is and old thing that its time to come up with something knew. As said in source 3 " The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism". Each state is given a number of electoral votes. The electors are the ones that eect the president not the people. Each candidate running for president in  somoenes state his their own group of electors. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is needed to elect the president. In my opinion the Electoral College works perfectly fine so their should be no reason to change the manner in which we elect our president and vice president.
