In order to fully understand the workings of the
Electoral College we must first look at its
origins. What were the founding fathers
considering when they created this system for
electing our president? We must go back to the
days where people still got around on horseback.
In 1787, the nation was made up of only thirteen
states and four million people. Crude
transportation and communication were all that
connected the country, making a national campaign
unrealistic. Also, keep in mind that thes...

Unequal Participation at the Polls The electoral
system we have now is Electoral College. The

history throughout the country. The system forces
candidates for president to campaign throughout
the country instead of ignoring smaller states and
only seeking to dominate the popular vote in the
larger states. Candidates are less inclined to
offer deals to large population states at the
expense of small population states in this way.
Also one cannot for...

actually vote for electors that then vote for our
president. It makes me wonder, Are we a democracy?
