This group is the electoral college.
These people are called electors and they make up the electoral college which elects the president.
The electoral college selects the president and the vice president, lucky them. :)
Now that the 2012 election is over, we can report with confidence the results: On November 6th, President Obama won re-election, defeating his challenger Mitt Romney in both the popular votes and the electoral college. (We generally don't like to make predictions, so we wait till we have the facts for you.)
The electoral college is chosen by the voters of the individual states. When one votes during the general election, when they choose their vote for president, they are actually casting their vote for the electors of the state. The college then generally (with few exceptions through history) votes for whomever won the mojority of the votes for that state.
It's impossible to predict with certainty as election outcomes can vary. Factors like candidate popularity, policies, current events, and voter turnout all play a role. Polls or surveys closer to the election date would provide a clearer picture.
A current criticism of the election process is the lack of transparency and potential for voter fraud, particularly in the United States. Some critics argue that the use of electronic voting machines and the absence of paper trails make it difficult to verify the accuracy of election results. Additionally, concerns about voter suppression and gerrymandering have also been raised, highlighting the need for electoral reforms.
For common people to vote for president and make the right desicion
