Why were so many Democrats selected for the Electoral College this year?

Democrats do not even want an Electoral College. What happened?

Update:

There are 538 total electors, including one for each U.S. senator and representative and three electors representing the District of Columbia, and presidential candidates need a majority of 270 votes to win the White House.

Update 2:

There's a fly in the ointment. A built in flaw.

    Democrats want full control.  They don't want an Electoral college because then California and New York would control who become president (as long as both vote the same).

    This Tom guy (friend of David Goldberg) claims that gov't will extract adrenochrome from truthers under Project Zyphr.

    Gov't identified the truthers under Project Pogo.

    Project Pogo was to gather info on dissidents when they commented/watched videos of Alex Jones / QAnon / Adam Green / etc

    Drone with scopolamine will drill a hole in your window; once gassed you will come out to them yourselves. This is done @4 AM during the night (also electricity was turned off for your block / region )

    This Tom guy begged people to leave to South America 'cuz of CONTROL GRID...

    I think it's better to hide in the woods of Alaska. What do you think?

    The remaining people will be chipped when they sign up for food

    Hell... even saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov said that Americans will receive mark of the beast because everything is like on your palm (you can't hide anywhere from the CONTROL GRID)... So, I was told to tell you this so that I won't be punished by God. Sorry, if the warning came out wrong

    Police will stop you at checkpoints to see if you're chipped (aka vaccinated)

    Chipped will be influenced to receive World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it)... but when they stretch their hands to get (gov't clerk will press secret button to administer) the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays

    This Tom guy and saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov both said that once you hide: no documents / no electronics / etc. so that nothing holds you back and you won’t go back into the city ‘cuz police will stop to chip you if you decide to go back. You have to live off grid; it’s tough but it’s the only way; forgive me.

    Source(s): Antichrist will also release prisoners/insane asylum people to mark everyone. Police will mark people on highways. Food stores will mark people who steal marked food because in order to swallow marked food one has to have triple stranded DNA. Mark changes your DNA from two strands to three strands so that you can't die and demons will live inside you forever (or so they think). Angel will cut marked people's heads clean off at the end of Apocalypse; forgive me.

    Before election day the 2 major parties each pick a slate of electors.

    If the Republicans win the state the Republican electors get picked, if the Democrats win the state the Democrat electors get picked. This is true for every state but Nebraska which allots their electors by who won the congressional district

    While some Democrats would like to abolish the electoral college (which would take a constitutional amendment) or reform aspects of how the electors are chosen (which would take statutes in fifty-one states/commonwealths/territory), the Democratic Party has to run within the existing rules.

    Under those existing rules, the state parties nominate a slate of electors to run with their presidential candidates.  So, the Democratic Party put forth a total of 538 potential electors (actually more as some states also elect alternates) just as the Republican Party did.  In each state, the results of the election determine which slate of electors are actually chosen.  

    As the Democrats won states or districts with a total of 306 electors, 306 Democrats were chosen to be electors.  

    And, yes, the electoral college is a built-in flaw in the system.  The reasons for going to an electoral college in 1787 (the lack of any means for candidates to run a national campaign and a distrust of voters) are either no longer factually accurate or philosophically accepted.  But, because the formula in the Constitution favors certain states, there are not enough votes to change the electoral college even though such proposals have been made repeatedly for the past 200 years.

    It's a shame you don't understand how our government works!

    Before the election each party, in each state, selects electors for the electoral college.

    After the election those states send the electors of the winning candidate to vote in the electoral college.

    People voted Democrat and the Electoral College got Democrat delegates.  That's how it works.  Democrats think the Electoral College should be scrapped and the President should be chosen by a straight majority of voters.  Republicans prefer the existing system because they rarely get a popular majority.

    The winning party selects their electorates, Democrats had no choice.
