The current system of determining electoral votes vary from state to state and “Battleground” states receive 7% more federal grants than “spectator” states, twice as many presidential disaster declarations, more Superfund enforcement exemptions, and more No Child Left Behind law exemptions. Lastly, these statutes have allowed five of our 45 Presidents to take office without having won the most popular votes nationwide.
New and experienced voters are often confused as to what is the electoral college, how is this elite group comprised, and why, in this day and age, we continue to use this artifact. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won several million more votes from the American People than Donald Trump. However, Trump won based on the number of electoral college votes. Who are these people? Are we getting screwed or is there something that we are missing? Let’s start by considering why it exists in the first place.
