text: Source 2, states that"Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but the for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president". This statement is saying that the voters of each state are not really voting for the president, just really being cheated by the system. So why should voters give time and effort if thier vote is not truly going to make a difference to the system. All those hundreds and thousands votes are giving to electors so they can make the vote for us. Wow that's how system works, taking the people votes what a shame.
