One man gets a vote. I vote for a number of electors.

Each state has a different set of rules/laws that the party and
state sets up - winner takes all or elector by count of each party.

Different states vote differently. Some by meetings and some by direct
ballot.

It is a state right to elect the President by the rules of the
constitution and the state laws.

Everyone gets a say.

However if the popular vote is used, only the far North East and
California will elect a president. That violates millions of votes.

When there were slaves in the south, the north still ruled and forced
a percentage onto each slave not a full head count - The North supplied
the slaves - they were the slavers - the south were slaves to the north
and provided labor. After slavery, the north started running more (note
more) rum and spices.

NOT just people who live there, want to or has a voting card.

The constitution allows only the electors to elect a president.

The popular vote by state is to elect electors.

Everyone knows that this is the current system. That doesn't mean it's
good. It's *not* good. It violates the just principle of one man / one
vote. The justice and equity in that principle is unassailable.

There is no valid reason to retain the electoral college. Its origin is
unequivocally based in slavery, and justice and equity dictate that it
should be abolished.
