PLZZ HELPP explain what the Electoral College is. Do you think that the Electoral College should continue to be used to determine the president?

The Electoral College is the system of federal elections that is in place in the United States. Americans actually vote for a representative called an elector who then votes on behalf of the people in their state. There are 538 electors and a majority of at least 270 votes is needed to claim the presidency.

Explanation:

Depending on the number of congressional districts and the two senators, each state is assigned a certain number of electoral votes.  The only exception is Washington DC that is assigned three electoral votes, despite having no representation in Congress.

The model is nearly always a winner-takes-all system where the candidate receiving the most votes in a state claims all of that state’s electoral votes. Trump beat Clinton in Florida by only 2.2%, but he took all 29 of Florida’s electoral votes.  I believe this system needs reform because the popular vote is now habitually not the same outcome as the electoral college outcome. Clinton actually won the popular vote in the last election by more than 3 million votes.
