text: I believe that the Electoral College is quite sneaky. Some people have no idea that it even exists, let alone what it is, so why have it in the first place? People vote on the president because they like what they say that they are going to do for our country. For example (in line ten, the author says), under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Basically, the people are not voting for the person they want, but for others to make the decison on who they think would be the better president
