Why Your Vote Didn't Count

Who actually votes for the U.S. President? It's not the millions of people who vote at the polls – it's 538 people who are part of the Electoral College. What happens if they want to pick somebody else? They can do just that. And this is all enshrined in the Constitution.

I'm so glad you decided to put this video out AFTER we went out to vote.

Literally every step of our voting process is designed to make the individual's vote mean as little as possible.

im convinced no one in charge really gives a shit about this country.

[roxxylala]

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW WHO THESE ELECTORS ARE!

theres literally no point in people voting

I tried to explain this to a young man I was training, and he got so upset that he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

That’s one of the reasons why I don’t vote. It doesn’t matter. If it actually counted, Then maybe I’d consider it.

They were unpopular, but there was an increase in voter turnout by 4.7%. This year, Hillary won the popular vote, but lost because of the electoral college.

[bryanbroacosta]

This didn’t satisfy my question, who picks the candidates in the first place

[PhillisThompson-bf]

Reged that why I have never voted and I’m 46 years young and I never will it’s all a 🐊 of sh.t😊

I like how AJ+ fails to mention that in about 40 states electors are forced to vote with their state. The remainder are small states people don't care about. But they vote with their state anyway.

[newonevery]

why doesn't this have more views?

[teecarter]

So who chooses the choices? And, what did the Electoral College have against Bernie?

[thepokekid]

Unfortunately, there are probably ways to manipulate every system, and I'm sure both parties would have figured out how by the 2nd or 3rd run.

[johnnyaingel]

thank you ahmed did not know that but now i do

[NoLoVeLoStNoLoVfOuNd]

So we vote and just hope they do the right thing? Do they really do what the American people want? I’m still confused, I wish this guy asked more questions.

IT IS SO GOOD THE VOTERS DON'T DECIDE ANYTHING TO DO WITH OUR LEADERS. I DON'T VOTE BECAUSE OF MY CONVICTIONS AS A CHRISTIAN. BUT JUST THINK IF TRUMP WERE REELECTED. WE WOULD LOSE ALL RESPECT FROM OUR ALLYS. OUR CHARACTER AND CREDIBILITY AS A NATION WOULD NEVER RECOVER. I'LL SUM IT UP FOR YOU. TOBY MAC WROTE, TO LABEL WRONG OR RIGHT BY THE PEOPLES SIGHT/IS LIKE GOING TO A LOSER TO ASK ADVISE.
