Re:what does it matter? (Score 1)

In many states, there is a legal and/or partisan mechanism in place which would make it impossible for an elector to vote for someone other than who won the popular vote in that state. Not saying it coudn't happen. but it is very unliekly. I dislike the electoral college on other grounds. For example, traditionaly there has been a "winner takes all" system. I think 48 states have a "winner takes all". I think this is much more anti-democratic than an electoral college.
