Let me give you a hypothetical and ask you a question. Suppose I dutifully go to vote because I am all excited about a particular presidential candidate.
When I get in the booth and I look at the ballot I realize that I do not have a clue about the candidates for county tax collector. Should I vote for one of the candidates anyway?

i thought there were just two boxes to check...!?

Nomination of electors

Candidates for elector are nominated by their state political parties in the months prior to Election Day. The U.S. Constitution delegates to each state the authority for nominating and choosing its electors. In some states, the electors are nominated in primaries, the same way that other candidates are nominated. Other states, such as Oklahoma, Virginia, and North Carolina nominate electors in party conventions. In Pennsylvania, the campaign committees of each candidate name their candidates for presidential elector (an attempt to discourage faithless electors).

You pose an excellent question Sir.

My only answer would be that you should inform yourself as much as possible, if not just vote on party lines.

But i feel that this is a huge problem, Citizens being uniformed.

thats what bothers me. you acknowledge you're an idiot. but are still adamant about having an impact on this nations future, no matter how diluted your perception of reality is.
many people should not be allowed to vote.

If you don't like this country why don't you move?

I am far from an Idiot, Infact you have shown that you really have a very narrow view of the world around you, I guess to you Albert Einstein was an idiot also? he couldn't spell to save his life.

your simply argumentitive, with no substance to back you argument, therefore you attack the opposition. I guess there is a place in this world for people like you also.

Have fun in you small and shallow gene pool.

The electors are still senators and Reps elected by the people.

That's why you try to vote in Senators that will vote as you would (or as close to it), just like you should with the President.

Good thing the presidential candidates are honest and up front.

no the senators & representatives in turn elect the electors ....... not based on what the people want but what they want, who they like, ect.

just vote for them based on what party they're a member of? well aren't you mighty objective.

Citizens being uninformed? so you will be casting a vote for each position based on something other than the dice in your pocket? or your 'party line'?
