Why is the Electoral college used instead of the popular vote?
How has the Electoral College affected previous elections in the U.S.?
There have been several elections in which the candidate who won the Electoral College did not win the popular vote. This was the case in the 2000 election, when George W. Bush won the presidency despite losing the popular vote to Al Gore. It has also happened in the 2016 election, when Donald Trump won the presidency despite losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton.
