    The electoral college elects the president. We just vote on which side gets to send it’s people there. Don’t know a single name of one of these voters and they can and do vote against the will of the people. It’s a partial democracy at best and really needs to change to popular vote already.

      It’s extremely rare for that to happen and I think last time it did happen the states made it illegal right after.
