What is the electoral college?
SUMMARY: The Electoral College has sparked significant debate, with two-thirds of Americans favoring a switch to a popular vote for presidential elections. The system allocates electors to states based on population, complicating direct voter influence. Critics highlight instances where candidates lost the popular vote yet won the presidency, while supporters argue it encourages candidates to engage beyond major urban areas. The issue gained prominence after Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the 2016 election due to the Electoral College. The divide is evident, with Democrats more supportive of a popular vote approach. What are your thoughts on this debate?
Still confused about the electoral vote versus the popular vote? We are here to break it all down for you

They have invested $30 million in new, secure voting machines that are internet-free, along with additional ballot marking devices to alleviate potential line delays.
