[simmons]
well let us share with you our knowledge, about the electoral college

[grif]
it comes after voting high school

[simmons]
no it doesn’t, that’s a lie, fool

[grif]
right, i meant high school civics

[sarge]
come on, boys, now be specific! to sing this here election song for us, i think you’ll need a big strong chorus!

[grif (spoken)]
uh, who’re these guys?

[chorus]
we are citizens of this land
and we’re here to lend a hand
we come together and we vote
because we’re all in the same boat

[grif]
elections take place at sea?

[simmons]
they’re speaking metaphorically

[chorus]
it’s our future that we are choosing

[grif]
voting is time travel? this is so confusing!

[chorus]
it’s a lot of work to master, but it’s really got its perks, but that’s how voting works!

[grif]
wait, what’s how voting works? i know less than i did before

[simmons]
well if you shut up for a minute they might tell us more

[chorus members]
our elective representative
come from every state and that’s what gives us strength
through adversity it’s not a university
and we vote every four years
[chorus member]
every two

[grif]
wait is that true?

[simmons]
don’t you pay attention to the midterm campaign?

[grif]
this has to stop, voting hurts my brain!

[chorus]
it might seem a little crazy
and yes it’s got its quirks
but that’s how voting works

[grif (spoken)]
ahh i get it now, so the president is elective by popular vote, and whoever gets more than 50% of that wins

[simmons (spoken)]
actually no, the president is chosen by a group of 538 electors representing each state and the district of columbia. most states have a win and take all system, but some states like maine and nebraska have proportional representation if no candidate gets the majority of the electoral college then the winner is chosen by the house of representatives

[grif (spoken)]
but my vote still counts right?

[simmons (spoken)]
oh yeah, definitely

[chorus]
i know the guys we are choosing from are all a bunch of jerks, but that’s how voting works!
