The document can be used to help support abolishing the Electoral College by showing us that the system is complex and the system is unfair, because more of those that determine the president through the electoral college come from smaller states than states that are larger and may have more population.

What does the electoral college do

The Electoral College is a way that the President and Vice President of the US are Chosen by selected people. Instead of a direct popular vote, each state is allocated a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress (number of senators + representatives).

When citizens vote in a presidential election, they're actually voting for a slate of electors chosen by the political parties. These selected people would cast their votes to ensure who would be the leader of the nation.
