In the United States, the Electoral College is the group of presidential electors that is formed every four years for the sole purpose of voting for the president and vice president. The process is described in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.[1] Each stateappoints electors under the methods described by its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation (representatives and senators) totaling 535 electors. A 1961 amendment granted the federal District of Columbia three electors. Of the current 538 electors, a simple majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president. If no candidate achieves a majority there, a contingent election is held by the House of Representatives to elect the president and by the Senate to elect the vice president. Federal office holders, including senators and representatives, cannot be electors.
Electoral votes, out of 538, allocated to each state and the District of Columbia for presidential elections to be held in 2024 and 2028 based on the 2020 census; every jurisdiction is entitled to at least 3.
In the 2020 presidential election (held using 2010 census data) Joe Biden received 306 (●) and Donald Trump 232 (●) of the total 538 electoral votes.
In Maine (upper-right) and Nebraska (center), the small circled numbers indicate congressional districts. These are the only 2 states to use a district method for some of their allocated electors, instead of a complete winner-takes-allparty block voting.

This guy obviously is strongly left in his opinion about everything but he's right that the Electoral College the United States uses is biding time.
The United States is the only country that still uses this antiquated system to elect our president.

The United States Electoral College is the only remaining electoral college in democracies where an executive president is indirectly elected.[2][3]
In 2030, when the new census comes out and COUNTS ILLEGAL CITIZENS for redistributing the apportionment of representation, the Ds will increase their representation in Congress via the US Constitution. Even though illegals will not have the right to vote, they live in D strongholds and the census will apportion those strong holds with additional representatives because of the higher population. This is a huge reason that Ds have been gushing in illegal immigrants during the Biden administration. YES IT IS!
This is NOT speculation. It will happen in 2030!

Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution mandates that an apportionment of representatives among the states must be carried out every 10 years. Therefore, apportionment is the original legal purpose of the decennial census, as intended by our Nation's Founders. Apportionment is the process of dividing the 435 memberships, or seats, in the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states, based on the state population counts that result from each decennial census. The apportionment results will be the first data published from the 2020 Census, and those results will determine the amount of political representation each state will have in Congress for the next 10 years.
