Thank you for being the only video on YT to answer the question. Its sad to hear that even ec reps get penalized for exercising their constitutional rights. So the libertarian green and any new party is SOL really. Unless they first take over state politics they wont have any ec's.
As others have said, thank you for answering the actual question. I searched for so long to figure out WHO the Electoral College is. Nobody explains WHO these people are. Now I understand better, though the lack of major consequences for "Faithless Voters" is terrifying 😢
So if anyone can be a ec person with little to no limitations who would you need to talk to how would you be considered is it someone new every election cycle? Seems a little fishie why is this process such a secret
If the electoral college has that much power, why bother with the popular vote? So on election day just count the electoral college vote. Sorry but I don’t understand. I’m Canadian.
From my understanding It's because the popular vote determines which party will win in that state and consequently the party who wins will have the electoral votes for that state to vote. For instance GA has 16 electoral votes, if the popular vote goes Republican today, the republican party will have 16 electors to cast their votes on the electoral college in mid December. And same with democrat vote, if popular vote goes to democrats, they will have 16 electoral votes for the presidency.
@@RogelioWPerea which party wins in a certain state it is important for that state only. And they should be able to elect their state officials as they want. When it comes to the president, it is a matter of the people, including the nonpartisans. So, the popular vote should be the only way to elect the president of the whole country.
Its sad that most people dont understand this from 5th grade social studies class or again, Civics in high school thay America is NOT a democracy. Ask a person why they voted for a candidate and what do they do? They repeat your question with disdain as if youre stupid because its so OBVIOUS why.........................And they just look at you............. (Still waiting for that response though)
Its never even changed the result of a states vote before. Almost all faithless electors had voted for a 3rd party, or were just one of many electors and therefore the rest who voted faithfully would override them. If that were to happen it would go to the supreme court and they would decide if its constitutional or not. I imagine they would say its unconstitutional because the electors are basically voting against the majority of people in that state
Well what if I went and I actually bought those electors with money@@Tester-kq8zd Or can you simplify Do we already know who the electors would be Or when it's decided There is no video which explains it clearly
Unfortunately she won't win and we both know that please make the right choice n vote properly. If u r actually an elector don't waste ur vote please please this election in particularly is so very important for women's rights and our children's safety and for our current climate crisis please think
Hi! I’m curious to know how did you become a Green Party elector? Like what was the process or steps you had to take? Any qualifications or requirements? I’m still learning and trying to educate myself and I don’t fully understand the EC (as most citizens don’t). I look forward to your response Thank you
the electors votes arent based off the popular thats totally opposite on how the electoral vote works, read the 12th amendment , an elector can pick who they choose and the supreme court are made up of idiots. the elector picks their choose and can be based on the people in their districts , those votes are collected by the state sent to d.c. to get counted.. they are tallied and the one with the most wins and there is supposed to be two elections , obe for president and one for vice president the constitution DOES tell us how it work.. read the 12th amendment turn these idiots off
I feel that a majority of Americans don't know this information.
I wish the media would spend more time educating and less time on sensationalism.
i hope they dont because this idiot spewed out a ton of b/s
This is done on. Purpose
Thank you for being the only video on YT to answer the question.

he didnt answer nothing.. he didnt get it all right.. read the 12th amendment stop listening to these idiots
As others have said, thank you for answering the actual question. I searched for so long to figure out WHO the Electoral College is. Nobody explains WHO these people are. Now I understand better, though the lack of major consequences for "Faithless Voters" is terrifying 😢
What is the point of these people if they’re supposed to cast their votes in a particular way anyway… I don’t understand America
So if anyone can be a ec person with little to no limitations who would you need to talk to how would you be considered is it someone new every election cycle? Seems a little fishie why is this process such a secret
That’s the answer I really want to know 🤔
Fishy is a kind way to say it. It is putrid. If WE THE PEOPLE made our choice, why do we need someone else to decide?
Everyone should be able to register as an Independent and the popular vote should be elected in a rank choice voting system.
If the electoral college has that much power, why bother with the popular vote? So on election day just count the electoral college vote. Sorry but I don’t understand. I’m Canadian.
I am American and still don’t understand. It is probably, who makes more money……..

I think it's time to drop the " filter" of the e.c.
Thanks for information. Is it same elector and board of state canvassers?
There are more than two sets of potential electors as third party and independent candidates also submit electors.
The mob consigliere, chooses the next Don 😎
what happens if an Elector dies (or is killed) before they can make their vote? are there backups?
Pushing the goal post
Ultimately it's we the voters who choose the electors on Election Day.
what happens when electors vote for neither major party candidate?

You didn't delve into an very important question: what if rogue electoral votes change the election result?
Its never even changed the result of a states vote before. Almost all faithless electors had voted for a 3rd party, or were just one of many electors and therefore the rest who voted faithfully would override them.
If that were to happen it would go to the supreme court and they would decide if its constitutional or not. I imagine they would say its unconstitutional because the electors are basically voting against the majority of people in that state
@@Tester-kq8zdI wouldn’t be surprised
Well what if I went and I actually bought those electors with money@@Tester-kq8zd
Or can you simplify
Do we already know who the electors would be Or when it's decided
There is no video which explains it clearly
it's so weird you didn't mention third party I am a green party elector in Colorado so yeah I know we do exist Jill Stein 2024
Keep dreaming.. you people are swimming upstream without a paddle.

@@Satrina777 sad but true. There are so many ignorants….
@@MariaRojas-zx8vf I refuse to believe that Americans are all ignorant. We the women have the power to kick him out. Vote blue
btw 1877 is the reason we have the eca
Not clear enough.
So the popular vote does matter
It depends on the state. Some state allow ignoring your vote and they vote how they want I think its 26 states out of the 50 that allow that
It looks like it doesn’t matter
This literally explained nothing
It explains that who ever you vote for doesn't matter, it's up to appointment and what they decide
Education don't sell😮
