The Political Process

OK, first of all, does anyone really understand the electoral college? Wikipedia, one of my three main sources of information, did not simplify it for me, but instead, made it harder for me to understand.

I realize that in the times of our forefathers, however they voted, it was impractical to record who all of the colonists may have voted for, but in this age of technology, we should be able to count who may have voted for whom. Then, everyone's vote will really count. I mean, more than it does now, where everyone's votes are counted by district or whatever. I don't get it. Please, please, explain this dumb sh*t to me.


And before you say anything, I know about the popular vote. And that's what I'm saying, election winners and losers should be picked by the popular vote, as opposed to the thing that they have now, which I do not understand.
