The US is a federal republic governed by _representative democracy_, so 
this is they way it is /supposed/ to work it would seem.
US citizens need to be more active in choosing the state Senators & 
Representatives that allow them electoral votes, and more careful about 
what types of people are choosing the actual electors. In the end 
though, these electors /are/ free to vote as they wish in many states, 
regardless of what The People voted for. :(

So I could feel fine that it is working as designed... It's of course 
flawed, but it possibly beats a "Mob Rules" popular vote majority that a 
direct democracy provides, especially for a diverse nation of former 
immigrants like the U.S.

Hell who knows... this is all OT anyway.
