In the U.S., the candidate with the highest number of votes wins, except the President. The most powerful individual in the nation is instead chosen by the Electoral College. This Roundtable explains how the Electoral College works, why it was created, how it has led to the election of 2 Presidents, in the modern era (Bush and Trump), who did not win a majority of votes and finally, why should be eliminated.
We also discuss how the origin of the Electoral College comes from slavery.

General topics were covered include; the guest sign-in process, laundry facilities, the cost, the residency requirement, the quality of housing, and more.
