Hello. You did not provide the article to which this question refers, which will leave the evidence unspecified.

Answer and Explanation:

The members of the electoral college are chosen by popular vote and each state in the country has its own electoral college, the number of members of the electoral college depending on the size of the states. In all, the country has 538 delegates (as members of the electoral college are called) and they are the ones who will vote and decide who will be the new president of the United States.

Each delegate is entitled to one vote, however, if a candidate receives the majority of the simple votes of a state's electoral college, that candidate will win the entire electoral college of that state.

The candidate who receives 270 votes from delegates across the country will be elected, regardless of the amount of popular votes that candidate received.

This generated a great controversy about the effectiveness of the electoral college within a democracy. If democracy allows the people to have the power to choose, why are the votes of the electoral college more important than the popular votes? This problem was most evident in the election that was to decide between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, where Clinton received the most popular votes, but Trump received 270 votes from the electoral college and became the president of the republic.

This makes us wish that the electoral college is extinct in the country and gives the people the power that belongs to the people, following democracy and justice, allowing elections to obtain direct voting and decision from the population.

The electoral college was created in 1787 when it was impossible to allow the entire population to vote, but much time has passed since society has evolved, allowing the people to be completely able to vote and decide for themselves who wants to govern them.
