the electors don't have to vote for who the states tells them to. they have voted for the other candidate around 87 times. but it has never swung an election. this is why i hate the electoral college

This makes learning Electoral College fun and easy.

This video explains in 8 minutes what normally takes 1 week in a public school. The difference, I understand the electoral college now :)

The Elector College System as much to do with the Holy Roman Empire as Rome.

And there was definitely no link between the judge - at the supreme court ruling or the Florida recount - and George W. Bush's Dad..... Hmm suspicious.

mcdonogh is cool
The real problem with the Florida recount in 2000 wasn't the hanging chads and butterfly ballots but something more abstract - the winner-take all rule which awarded all 25 Florida electors to Bush.
ME and NE choose their electors differently - only two statewide, the rest by congressional district. If FL had this in 2000 then any recount would have had only 3 electors at stake. Bush would have received only 14 electors when he needed 24 to win. Gore would have won the election.

4 good ideas for revising the electoral college.
Instant runoff voting at the Presidential level.
A slate of 11 electors (the average number of electoral votes per state) that go to the winner of the national vote.
The electors MUST vote for their pledged candidate who wins the popular vote.
Election Day is a federal holiday.
