I always thought they decide who becomes president.
Am I wrong??

The Electoral college is only for the Pres. What state are you in?It seems we pick the Electoral College and they in turn pick who they want.
I think some people like checking a box and getting a sticker simply because it makes them feel good.
They have no idea there is a middle man!!
I'm just trying to find the flaw in my logic
Yes. blueGOL teaches that their “popular vote” matters.I always thought they decide who becomes president.

I'm on the NC SC line work in one live in the other.The Electoral college is only for the Pres. What state are you in?
Voting for a Senator, your Rep in Congress, your Gov, AG and Lt.Gov is won by the Popular vote amongst the people who actually voted. While the Pres wins the popular vote with the people who actually voted, in NC they get 16 and in SC 9.I'm on the NC SC line work in one live in the other.
What u mean they are only for the President?
All 9 go to Obama Winner take all.I kinda get what you're saying. I made this thread cause it shouldn't be so complicated. People cast their vote for the president and think that's all to it
Let's make a scenario: if there is a state with 100k pple. 60% vote Obama and 40% Bush.
That state has 9 Electoral College memebers. How do they play into the scheme of things? Thx!
All votes go to the 9. Then they pick who they want. Which may not coincide with the popular vote.All 9 go to Obama Winner take all.
Who is they? If you're saying the electors. The Electors(in a Majority of States) in that state have to go to the winner of that states popular vote.All votes go to the 9. Then they pick who they want. Which may not coincide with the popular vote.
Is this possible?
I wonder how it would look if everyone actually voted. Including former felons.The electors install the president, not the voters. The voters install the electors. Anybody ever met their elector? Its really just a slight of hand shit show. The stated reason for this electoral college is to keep large states with bigger populations from deciding the election but that really makes no sense. (because that's exactly what happens) The real reason is the so called founding fathers simply didn't trust the ignorant masses with the power to choose the chief executive.

This is exactly my point!!
i hate niggas like you. i mean, you come into a thread and spout some shit bu thave nothing to contribute. Let's assume you right? what the fuck else are you gonna do and can do? Just yapping about shit is racist don't change shit about the reality of the world we got to live in. either you make shit better for you and the next generation or you just spout useless shit online. This whole damn country was primary based off slavery yet some how, some way, we continue to grind it out and have made shit work for us and will continue to make it work depite this country history. Next time you post, add something to the discourse and stop your bullshitpost.You do realize that the electoral college is another slavery based law.
Amerikkka's racists roots alive and well

Anyway, the state legislature voted in a law that basically said if they don't like how the people vote they can throw out the results and choose their own electors.
I was okay with your opinion except this sentence that you suggested was a fact. Where's your evidence?We all know how Democrats literally flood the country with undocumented immigrants and register them to vote.
I've learned that clearly not everyone was given the same basic knowledge when i left HS. Shoutout MCPS!this shit was taught to us in 4th grade...........
We make stupid or uninformed decisions often. I won't restrict people from voting if they're out of prison/jail.There are different degrees of felonies.
Someone that was driving to fast may make better decisions than an inbred redneck With a gun fetish.
