It’s very important to remind people that our vote is important and demanded by all the news outlets and the various political leaders. But it is ultimately ignored and replaced by a group of unelected electors who can actually vote for whoever they want. If we really did vote, then the result from our election would be a president. Instead the official vote is from these randos and CNN will need our vote to compare the “electoral” vote (not ours, but the actual vote from the randos) vs the “public” vote, which is just an option from us with which to compare against. You can do that with the dog vote and the kids from 3rd grade vote.
