voting in the united states

This the problem with the American people they are unwilling to give up the status qua. This is one of the reasons I will not waste my time or gasoline trying to vote. At the presidential level we vote for our member of the electoral college. Anyone ever met him talked to him saw a reporter interview him? Like a Jury they are not bound by the bullshit that a judge tells them,he is not bound by the majority. He can show up and vote for Mr.Magoo if he chooses, even thought those he represented voted for Olive oil.I found out when you write ever congressperson and senate person in your state about a problem also the national senators and congressmen you become a Giant ping pong ball,no person in authority wishes to address or study or do anything but refer you to someone else up or down the line. The thing will change when NO votes are cast in any election for a period,it will halt the machine as they say.
