    It’s been well known since day 1 that the people could do a very bad job choosing the president.

    Corruption makes it more likely to be the Electoral collage that makes a stupid decision.

      Most electors are bound by state law to vote a certain way, and the scotus has upheld this practice, so I would argue that they really make no decision at all.

        Are you talking about federal presidential election or the election to become candidate for the party?
        Because the party election system is 100% decided by the party AFAIK.
