How are presidential electors appointed or chosen?
Most states provide by law that candidates for the office of presidential elector shall be nominated by the recognized political parties at their state level conventions. A few states authorize the state party committees to make the choice, while other leave the process to the discretion of the parties; under this system, party organizations generally choose to nominate their elector candidates by convention, or through the state party committee. Several states provide unique mechanisms for selection of elector candidates. Pennsylvania, for instance, provides that the party presidential candidate may choose the presidential elector candidates for his or her party. In California, Republicans choose recent nominees for state and federal office to serve as elector candidates, while in the Democratic Party, candidates for the office of US Representative, and the two most recent candidates for US Senate, each choose one candidate for the office of presidential elector.
How can the elector vote over turn the popular vote?
in the presidential election, the popular vote of the state is the then the electorate, and depending on how many elector votes the state has (depending on popularity) that's how many votes the candiate gets. so if a large state like California has only a 10% difference, it still goes by the popular vote. if a candidate gets many larger states, but not by a vast amount, it then results with the loss of the popular vote but a win of the elector vote.
Who is an elector and what does the elector have to do with the election process?
An elector is a member of an electoral college. An electoral college convenes to discuss, agree on and elect a president. The electoral college of Rome elects the Pope.
