American founding fathers were concerned with the limits of democracy. Their concerns are similar to those of political philosophers such as John Stuart Mill (<em>On Liberty</em>) and Alexis de Tocqueville (<em>Democracy in America</em>). In particular, they were concerned that an excess of democracy would lead to a “tyranny of the majority.”
The tyranny of the majority refers to a situation in democratic rule where a self-interested majority can put their interests above those of the minority. It is an inherent weakness of majority rule and can lead to the oppression of minorities.
Alexander Hamilton wrote to Thomas Jefferson about this worry after The Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the constitution that was drafted reflects these concerns. The Electoral College is partly a safety mechanism to prevent the democratic victory of a tyrannical despot. Other mechanisms introduced were the Bill of Rights and the division of power, which prevents the centralization of all power in one individual, even a democratically elected one.

The "emerging adulthood" is actually characterized of individuals functioning as an independent person, exploring possible identities before they make permanent choices and possess the subjective feeling that life is full of possibilities.
The answer is: all the legal votes must be counted accurately.
In order to ensure this, there are several things that must be followed by the election committee:
- They need to ensure that no people would be able to vote outside the states where they're assigned it
- They need to ensure that there is no foreign influence that could hack into their system and change the voting count
- They need to ensure that no voters able to vote more than once
- They need to ensure that all voters have the proper legal requirements (such as ages and citizenships)
