Also remember that we don’t actually vote for the president. That’s the job of the electoral college. They just want to see if we all guessed it right.
Hey guess who is the next person to be the president? C’mon tell us! I’m going to guess Biden…I’m going to guess Trump! You are both wrong! The next president is this Gala Apple 🍎 with a worm inside!
Thanks electoral college! Without you. How could we ever know who You want to rule over us all like a king?
If the electors vote for President, why should I vote in the general election?
During the general election your vote helps determine your State’s electors. When you vote for a Presidential candidate, you aren’t actually voting for President. You are telling your State which candidate you want your State to vote for at the meeting of electors. The States use these general election results (also known as the popular vote) to appoint their electors. The winning candidate’s State political party selects the individuals who will be electors.
So let me rephrase, you don’t vote for president. You merely provide a suggestion like an 8ball. The government picks electors (not you). They get to vote. Again, not you. So if you forgot to vote, don’t worry, it’s going to happen anyway. Like if they were going to choose Edgar Allen Poe, it doesn’t matter what you want, they will vote for a dead person before they care about your vote.
