Ugh....I was going to leave this alone, but every 8th grader, high schooler, and college student needs to pass a Constitution test which outlines all this stuff. But I suppose just cuz they passed a test doesn't mean they learned anything.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

You should really do a little reading up on the Electoral College
before you accuse the voting public of being ill-informed.

For example, the use of "electors" didn't happen within the past 80
years -- it was written into the Constitution:

"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof
may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of
Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in
the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an
Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed
an Elector."

And there are currently 538 electors, NOT 13.
