We as a people (America) don't actually elect for the president. We vote for a representative from each state to vote directly for the presidential candidates in question. Hence the name Double-Election System.

∙ 11y agoDouble-Election system simply means this:
2 Senators per state
__ Representatives per state
They elect the president. California has 55 total votes (the most) while Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, DC, Vermont only 3 total votes each.
Anyway, the popular votes (what we vote, normal folk) don't really count for much, it's the votes from the senators and representatives that makes the cut.
