Is it? I've been told that the electoral system allows someone to become president even if his opponent received more votes. |
That has happened to candidates from both parties in the past.
Of course, the system doesn't use overall numbers. The populations in individual states decide the state's standing, not just the biggest population centers.
I don't expect everyone to understand the reasoning behind the electoral system, some just don't get that which I mentioned previously. I can't say the ideals behind in any more plainly than I already have. *shrug*
We're getting a little off-topic here. My fault for picking this subject out of a previous long post.
