Best Answer

On Election Day, the voters in each state select their state's Electors by casting their ballots for President. In most states, the names of individual Electors do not appear anywhere on the ballot; instead only those of the various candidates for President and Vice President appear, usually prefaced by the words "Electors for." The Electors are expected to vote for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates of the party that nominated them. George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election defeating Albert Gore, Jr. In the 2000 presidential election George W. Bush received 271 (50.5%) electoral votes and Albert Gore, Jr. received 266 (49.5%) electoral votes. Bush's 271 Electors were elected by direct popular vote. They were faithful Electors who voted for Bush because the voters selected them to vote for Bush in the electoral college.

What is the good and bad about the Electoral college?

One of the best things about the Electoral College is that it ensures each State still maintains a bit of sovereignty from the Federal Government. EAch State can still decide how its votes are tallied and how they are allocated but once again this comes back to whichever system that particular State decides to use. What's bad about it? It means the President is not directly elected by the People but a group of (sometimes) unelected officials who go on to elect the President.
