True. Hope I was a helping hand.
Some reasons for abolishing the Electoral College and introducing direct vote for the candidate are the following
1) voting would be more transparent and understandable to voters
2) voters might be more motivated to vote because their vote would have more direct influence
3) a sitation when a president did not get a majority of votes would not be possible (as it is now).
With the given scenario above, the best action to handle this situation is to mention the problem to your supervisor. Though it may not be your job to tell on your co-worker's problem, it is still best to explain it to your supervisor to assist and to ask help in order to give assistance to your co-worker who has been experiencing difficulties.
