A I understand it, the electorial colllege was created at a time in the United States, when the country was younger, and states were harder to reach, because of lack of media, ( unlike today). It makes no difference which candidate Democrat or Republican, even if they have the popular vote ( more votes than the other candidate) the electorial college can and have changed the results of the elections! In 2000,, in the state of Florida, election votes in many parts of the state were not counted or discounted. and that election was resolved by the candidate bush's governor brother Jeb. amd his state's Sup[reme court! I find that hysterically funny, and a gross miscarriage of justice. But many other times the electorial college decided the election by their votes, and negating popular votes. Any comments about this?
