Electoral college explained

To understand how the electoral college works, we first need to go back to when the system was created.

Some confusion here on the three fifths thing--three fifths counting of black people no longer in force is it?? So each state's House representatives are based on that state's number of citizens--race no longer an issue?? So is the objection to the "winner take all" part
??? I'm confused as to the objection if anyone could clarify I really would like to understand.

I'm not sure I follow what the 3/5 rule and slavery has to do with the electoral college. Did it change something? Please explain.

The voting for President of The United States should be done on the order of the method of voting in THE UNITED NATIONS. At the United Nations, each and every member nation gets ONE VOTE, regardless of their population. In the United States Of America, each and every State should get one vote, regardless of their population. It works for the United Nations and it would work just as well for The United States.
