The 2020 presidential election is tomorrow (11/3/2020). I knew a bit about the electoral college, but I wanted to know a bit more. In this episode I research the origins of the electoral college, why it's used instead of a popular vote, and the amount of people are represented based on each electoral vote, and by each House of Representatives representative.
I couldn't find any information about the amount of people represented by a electoral vote, or House of Representatives rep, but I found this after I recorded.
