What are the chances that the electoral college will decide to vote against Trump if Hillary wins the popular vote?
Why does the U.S. have an electoral college system instead of using the popular vote to elect the president?
The electoral college system was created by the founding fathers as a compromise between electing the president by Congress and electing the president by popular vote. They wanted to ensure that smaller states had a say in the election, so the number of electors for each state is based on its population. However, critics argue that this system can sometimes be undemocratic and not accurately reflect the will of the people.
