The Electoral College is in place for the presidential and vice presidential so that any mistakes made buy us peons can be corrected by the exalted members of the college. Remember our forefathers had a long tradition of Royal leadership and it was hard for some of them to become democratic. You should be aware that there is no obligation for the Electoral College to vote the way the majority of the state decided. It is very much an elitist organization whose membership is appointed, not voted. The longer it exists, the more dangerous it becomes. I suspect that the Electoral college, in the near future, will ignore the voters and elect the president they “deem necessary”. There are many ways future elections may be changed, modifying voting machine results, Nationwide software changes that change the results, Supreme Court interference, and finally an Electoral College loyal to one or the other side that throws the election to their choice and against the actual popular vote.
