"When they designed our system, they came up with the Electoral College not because they thought it was perfect but as a way to get the Constitution passed, and it satisfied the concerns of both the very populous states and lower populous states." — Rachael Cobb, political science professor at Suffolk University.
"It's really 51 separate elections. Every state and the District of Columbia has its own rules for running the election. Then each state awards its electors separately, and it's up to candidates to win a majority of those electors to be elected president." — Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
