since 1824, aside from the occasional "faithless elector", the popular vote determines the winner of a presidential election by determining the electoral vote, as each state or district's popular vote determines its electoral college vote. although the nationwide popular vote does not directly determine the winner of a presidential election, it does strongly correlate with who is the victor. in 53 of the 58 total elections held so far (about 91 percent), the winner of the national popular vote has also carried the electoral college vote. the winners of the nationwide popular vote and the electoral college vote differ only in close elections. in highly competitive elections, candidates focus on turning out their vote in the contested swing states critical to winning an electoral college majority, so they do not try to maximize their popular vote by real or fraudulent vote increases in one-party areas.
