The United States Electoral College is the mechanism established by the United States Constitution for the indirect election of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. Citizens of the United States vote in each state at a general election to choose a slate of "electors" pledged to vote for a party's candidate. The Twelfth Amendment requires each elector to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president.
@chneljm2yrs2Y
No, but the electoral college system needs to be completely reformed and updated

Reform to a system that doesn't just benefit the top two parties, but also ensure that city folks are not in control of the votes and that they are equal with rural populations.

@8VW68P63yrs3Y
Yes, and replace it with Single-Transferable Vote
@8VTBF8J3yrs3Y
Electoral college isn't doing anything wrong. What's wrong is the states who allow winner take all. Blue sections in red states are underrepresented, as are red sections in blue states. Chicago shouldn't be the only place that matters in all of Illinois. All states should be allowed to throw their vote in whoever their section chose to be their president.
@8TRBV6Q3yrs3Y
No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally, faithless electors are banned, and we use a ranked choice model of voting.
