No. The modern electoral college system originates from the Holy Roman Empire, which from 1376 to 1792 had a college of "Prince-Electors" - powerful and prominent monarchs, nobles or ecclesiastical office holders - who would chose a ruler within one of the Empire's nations to become Holy Roman Emperor. At no stage in its history, past or present, has Greece made use of an electoral college system.
your mom try hard face
We still use the Electoral College today because there is still support for electing the president by a national popular vote, eliminating the process of assigning electors among the state by rules that violate the principle of one person, one vote.
Court decisions have had the most dramatic impact on reshaping the Electoral College from its intended purpose. One significant decision was the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Bush v. Gore in 2000, which ultimately decided the outcome of the presidential election. This decision solidified the notion that the Electoral College, rather than the popular vote, determines the winner of the presidency, thus further shaping the role and influence of the Electoral College in contemporary elections.
The president of the United States is elected to office by the electoral college as opposed to popular vote. Any candidate who wins the presidency has to have a majority of at least 270 electoral votes. If no candidate receives a majority, the election will need to be decided via a procedure outlined in the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution.
