Why is the Electoral College considered "51 separate elections" instead of one national election?

History

Answer:

Because each person does not actually vote for a president. When we vote for a candidate we are actually voting for a group of electors, to elect our president off of each states popular vote excluding Maine which does proportional voting.

Explanation:

Let's say you live in Kansas and electoral votes are based off of number of Congressmen/women which totals 6 2 senators and 4 reps which equals 6 electoral votes. A person voting in this state is voting either for 6 republican electors or democratic electors. When you vote for a candidate if that state goes republican those 6 GOP electors vote for the nominee that the state won. Washington D.C gets three electors even though it is not a state. So each state holds a separate elections since we all are voting for electors of the party you vote for. As well as D.C which that right was given to them in the 70s.

Which political value did the constitution value more than any other at its creation?
nirvana33 [79]
<span>In the US constitution, the value that was most important was equality. The founding fathers faced oppression and a lack of representation from the British. Because of that they wanted equality, and from that "equal" representation, for their constituency. Equal in quotes in the previous statement is because not everyone had the same rights at the time. The rights and equality were meant for white, property owning males.</span>
