Explanation:

In the Electoral College system, each state in the country is allowed to present a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector is expected to cast one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes in all. Any candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.

This system allow electors to cast votes according to their own wishes or change their preferred candidates spontaneously without punishment from their states. This allows for faithless electors and is a major criticism of the electoral college system.
