“If you don’t understand why the Electoral College exists, you’re the reason” is a saying that has been printed on several images. The speaker believes that the Electoral College provides some protection against mass votes by uneducated voters in large states such as California and New York.

Wikipedia: United States Electoral College
In the United States, the Electoral College is the group of presidential electors that is formed every four years for the sole purpose of voting for the president and vice president. The process is described in Article II of the U.S. Constitution. Each state appoints electors under the methods described by its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation (representatives and senators) totaling 535 electors. A 1961 amendment granted the federal District of Columbia three electors. Of the current 538 electors, a simple majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president.

People who don’t understand why the Electoral College exists are the reason it exists. One of it main functions is to protect America from low information voters. Don’t be that voter. Check this out:

If you don’t understand why the electoral college exists, you need a civics class. Everything happening in this country right now is why it was put there. Imagine if this country was under full dictatorship under newyork and California rule!
