text: Voters can get confused about who they pick and how they pick them especially if they are a new voter and its their first time voting. The Electoral college is a confusing process, according to source 1, the Electoral college process cosists of the selection of the electors..... the electoral college consists of 538 electors.........."state" also refers to the District of Colombia..... The electors are generaly chosen by the canidate's political party.....when you vote for president you are actually voting for your candidate's electors ..... your Certification of Ascertainments are sent to th congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presiential election. The process is quite confusing a simple vote would be much easier for voters to understand.
