    Each state has a number of electors, equal to the number of representatives and senators from that state. It was created because ordinary people were thought to be uneducated and unable to vote intelligently. Regular citizens' votes are worthless, only electors' votes count and the one with the most votes is president.

    Pros: None

    Cons: Popular vote is essentially useless
