The representatives within the electoral college are to cast a vote based on the majority vote of the area they represent.
By popular vote! The electoral college should not decide.
Look up the electoral college process and you'll understand better. Hint: we pick, they pick. This happened because in colonial times, they couldn't decide who should pick the president: the "smart" people or citizens. Hope I helped....
Contrary to what some people think, a group known as the electoral college is responsible for election. Based on the public voting in their state, the electoral college *should* vote for the person who wins the popular vote.
That was a compromise between those who thought that Congress should select the President and those who thought the voting public should elect him.
Honestly,it seems there is no reason to vote for president,since we are not.They should just say we are voting for somewon to vote for us.i mean,if im wrong somewon please correct me.
The Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution - prescribing electors cast separate ballots for president and vice president - replaced the system outlined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution.
If this should happen, the electoral college would most likely cast their votes for the vice-presidential candidate of the dead winning candidate.
If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote, and the U.S. Senate will select the vice-president.
Originally the President was the person that won the most Electoral College votes and the Vice President was the person that won the second most Electoral College votes. Unfortunately this usually resulted in the President and Vice President being of different political parties and working toward opposite goals.
watch sonny with a chance it should help
the fraction should be 3/4
The US isn't a democracy, it's a republic. The delegates will choose the candidate for each party, and the voters then choose the electoral college. The electoral college then selects the president. I believe your constitution allows you to choose another system should the existing one be deemed to be corrupted.
