What is the electoral college?
SUMMARY: The Electoral College has sparked significant debate, with two-thirds of Americans favoring a switch to a popular vote for presidential elections. The system allocates electors to states based on population, complicating direct voter influence. Critics highlight instances where candidates lost the popular vote yet won the presidency, while supporters argue it encourages candidates to engage beyond major urban areas. The issue gained prominence after Hillary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the 2016 election due to the Electoral College. The divide is evident, with Democrats more supportive of a popular vote approach. What are your thoughts on this debate?
Still confused about the electoral vote versus the popular vote? We are here to break it all down for you

SUMMARY: Stephen Stanko, 57, was executed by lethal injection in South Carolina for two 2005 murders: he shot a friend in Horry County and killed his girlfriend in Georgetown County after raping her daughter, who survived a throat-slashing. Stanko apologized in a final statement and asked not to be judged by his worst day. His execution, South Carolina’s sixth in nine months, followed a brief halt due to drug availability. He declined the firing squad after concerns arose from a prior execution. Appeals and a clemency request were denied. Victims’ families and his lawyer witnessed the execution. He died 28 minutes after it began.
