DBWI: No Popular Election

[Mason]

I wanted to bring this topic up again, it's been about a year since I asked this question, so I thought I'd ask it again, considering the Presidential election is this year. I found a book in my college library, explaining that the founding fathers wanted to add something called and the "Electoral College" into the voting process. From what I understand these people are used as representative votes for their states, ie if California voted Democrat (yeah right, as if the Socialist Party would ever let that happen), then these Electorals are supposed to vote Democrat. However, the flaw of this process was that the Electorals did not have to vote for what the majority wanted, they could just as easily vote for one or the other four or five party candidates running for President, how do you think things would have been different if this Electoral College had existed?
