Some thoughts...
The Presidential election is done via popular vote, where the population votes and usually, the Electoral College votes accordingly. For example, in the 2008 elections, the majority of the U.S. population voted for Obama over McCain, and the College voted for the population accordingly, which gave Obama the Presidential seat. Of course, sometimes, the Electoral College votes for a candidate who didn't win the popular vote, like in the 2000 Presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore -- Gore won over Bush by .5%. Obviously, all the voting is done in secret, so no actually knows who voted for which candidate. However, is the popular vote being manipulated behind-the-scenes in order to steer the College in the wrong direction? Are our votes -- done in secrecy so no one actually knows how people voted -- being controlled or influenced by the Power Elite to exploit the Electoral College into voting for who THEY want in power?
