text: Electoral Colleges are when the people vote for the person they want to govern them and that vote goes to a person that could either decided to vote as the people choose, or vote for whom ever he feel should run. It lowers the peoples voices, they are unable to directly choose what they want because their choices could be changed. Electors don't have to vote infavor of the person you would like. The diffrence between the Electoral College and popular vote is that in the Electoral College their are electorrs that can choose to vote in favor of what we -the people- want if they agree with it. The elector doesn't have to choose what the people want. In popular voting, the whole population gets to choose who they want as president without worrying that their vote will be put aside. It makes sure that we -the people- get what we want. They could just change the vote and choose who they want to run as presidency. The Electoral College doe shelp the counting of the votes because there are only 538 voters; however, we are in a diffrent time where electrical machines can help calculate the total number of votes for a large population.
