      The Electoral College is a bit more advanced of a topic. You could say we’ve got 60 some-odd (accounting for Maine and Nebraska) separate classrooms each having their own election (using the same rules as the example above), with each election sending a certain number of voters for the winner to a school-wide election, where over half the total number of ‘delegates’ must vote for the winner or the school admin decides, but that example gets even more involved and easier to lose people with.

      The bottom line is that every State is its own election. If voters do their job, and not get bogged down with what could go wrong, we might just get out of this with a serious win. It won’t be a clean win, and we won’t all get what we want, but at least, we’ll not get Project 2025!
