Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Founders did indeed establish the Electoral College as a mechanism for selecting the President of the United States. In this system, each state is allocated a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress, and these electors then cast their votes for President. Historically, the popular vote has often aligned with the results of the Electoral College, although there have been some notable exceptions (such as the 2016 election).
