Electoral college made sense before modern transportation and communication. Colonists could not get to polling places so sent an "elector" with their proxies. Electoral college representatives are not allowed to make any decisions. That's the original rules. I believe it was the electors that changed their mandate to tRumpass against the law and for no APPARENT reason. Money? Positions in government? Threats to them, their families or livelihoods? Just a theory but, it fits the scenario perfectly. tRump rewards those who "love him" and believes they actually admire him. Amazing how delusional he can be. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY LEGITIMATE REASON FOR THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. True Democracy by definition is ONE CITIZEN, ONE VOTE. Directly without detours.
