Why aren't US Presidents voted in by the popular vote?
I was wondering, why aren't US Presidents voted in by the popular vote?
The United States has an electoral system known as the Electoral College, which determines the winner of presidential elections. The Electoral College is made up of electors from each state, and each state has a certain number of electors based on its population. The candidate who wins the majority of electoral votes wins the presidency, even if they do not win the popular vote.
