Question

We use the electoral college to elect presidents. Briefly explain the process. In your answer you must include: how many votes you need to win, explain who electors are, and why each state has a different number of them. Then explain why a Republican voter in California, or a Democratic voter in Mississippi, may not agree with the Electoral College system.

Answer 1

Electoral College. Unlike in other U.S. elections, the president and vice president are not electeddirectly by the people. Instead, they're chosen by “electors” through a process called theElectoral College. The idea of using electors comes from the Constitution.
