Thanks to the Electoral College, a handful of states may determine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. So why does the Electoral College exist, and could it ever be abolished?
The Electoral College is a body of legislative officials that directly elects the president of the United States.
With the 2020 presidential election approaching, many voters recognize where they vote may be more consequential than whom they choose in the voting booth. The Electoral College chooses the president based on state vote totals, and recent history has shown the winning candidate for president does not need to earn the most individual votes to win the Electoral College vote.
Proponents argue that the Electoral College ensures that the wider American population is represented in national elections.
