Thanqol: Feb 15, 2012; because our character has the 'poet' trait, this update shall be told in the format of a rap battle.

OneEightHundred posted:

Electors were also envisioned to be independent representatives, which is the whole reason they are in the process in the first place instead of just voting for president. Party slates, pledged electors, and winner-take-all system are all completely against the original vision.

(The winner-take-all system is basically there because states want to maximize their own importance. They think it's better that whoever wins the majority in their state gets the maximum advantage possible toward being the president.)

This whole system makes perfect sense when you take into account the overland speed of a horse. It might take months to ride all the way out to Washington and the guy you were going to vote for might be dead of typhoid so you're sending a bunch of reliable delegates to go and figure poo poo out and make deals on their own initiative with guys who you have only maybe sent letters to.
