Electoral college

In this clip of the last presidential election the significance of the Electoral College vote is obvious. The "scorecard" discussed in the clip is a clear indication of how closely these votes are followed and anticipated in our elections.


In this clip some of the problems presented by the Electoral College system are discussed. Many voters do feel like their vote counts for less and even sometimes nothing because the Electoral College system makes it seem like some states are far more important than others and there is no question that candidates spend more time and money in those states.



Here we get some understanding as to the importance of the Electoral College again, the race is not over until we see the results of the Electoral College. It is also historically interesting to understand why the Founders put the Electoral College in to place, clearly because of their own fear stemming from what they left behind in England.
