electoral college
the Electoral College was a great achievement in that it protects the individual states, originally called republics. It does this by making sure that no small state such as say Rhode Island with one million people is overridden by giant California with just over 39 million. And this is what would happen without the Electoral College our forefathers had the thought to include in constitutional writings.

But there are so many reasons why the unique system of voting for president is so vitally important to our republic. And we are, thankfully, a republic -- not a majority/mob-rule "democracy"

The US states are a confederacy of states. The power of the federal government is derived from the states and the people in them. The Electoral College assigns power to every state, thus safeguarding the primacy of the states. America is unique in the world in our system of checks and balances, decentralized government power and protection of the rights of all people including the minority. Without the Electoral College, eight to 10 large states would determine the election. California has a larger population than nine small states combined. But California, for all its virtues, is far from representative of our diverse country.

The electoral college is a system by which the president and vice president of the United States are chosen. It was devised by the framers of the United States Constitution to provide a method of election that was feasible, desirable and consistent with a republican form of government, that is fair and equitable. In this system of selection, a rejection of a direct popular vote was deemed unwise and unworkable, such as with the smaller states in population having no where near as larger states in population, where the country would lean towards those wishing to have control over all. This was one of the major reasons for instituting the electoral college.....comprised with Encyclopedia Britannica.

The electoral college is the system that where the electors in the electoral college.act as.representatives for each state and they elect the president and vice-president. The electoral college is comprised of a group of people chosen by the votes of men and women in each US state, who come together to elect the President or a similar.such group in other countries. Under the terms of the United States Constitution, the election for president is done by a group of electors, who were collectively called the Electoral College, where each elector was to vote for the two individuals he considered most qualified in that state, the result of which, the winners, as calculated from each state would be the president and the runner-up would be the vice president. 

Each state appoints as many electors as it has senators and representatives in Congress (U.S. senators, representatives and government officers are ineligible). Three presidents have been elected by means of an electoral college victory while losing the national popular vote (Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877, Benjamin Harrison in 1888 and George W. Bush in 2000). Though pledged to vote for their state's winners, electors are not constitutionally obliged to do so. A candidate must win 270 of the 538 votes to win the election. These presidential electors meet after the citizens vote for president and cast ballots for the president and vice president. Each state is granted by the rules set down by our forefathers, the same number of electors as it has senators and representatives combined. These electors, rather than any large state or states, actually elect the president and the vice president. The founding fathers set this up as a means of power to circumvent the popular vote, say by giant California and Texas, which could smother any voting in smaller states. Just as in tennis, where the player who wins the most points doesn't always win the match, it's the same in the US where he or she having the most votes may not be the one becoming president.

"In a presidential election in the United States, the candidate who wins a majority of the popular votes in a state also earns all the votes of the state's electoral college members. Each state has the same number of electoral college members as the total of its senators and representatives. However, in this method of electing the president, candidates can still win the most electoral college votes even without winning the most popular votes. In past elections, candidates John Quincy Adams in 1824, Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Benjamin Harrison in 1888 and Donald Trump in 2016 won the presidency by winning the electoral vote, even though their opponents had received more of the popular vote. Current campaign strategy always targets populous states with the most electors, including California, Texas, Florida, New York and Illinois."....Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation.

"Lawrence D. Longley and Neal R. Peirce, The Electoral College Primer 2000 (1999), is an excellent overview of the history, operation and biases of the electoral college system. A brief but clear description of the system is Walter Berns (ed.), After the People Vote: A Guide to the Electoral College, rev. and enlarged ed. (1992). Critical discussion appears in Judith A. Best, The Choice of the People?: Debating the Electoral College (1996)..."....Encyclopedia Britannica.
