The document discusses the U.S. electoral college system. It explains that the electoral college was a compromise between selecting the president by Congress or by popular election. It then describes how electoral votes are allocated to each state based on Congressional representation and how electors are selected, usually by statewide winner-take-all elections. The document outlines the electoral college process and criticisms of the system, such as how the popular vote winner can lose the presidency.
