jan 14 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 argh... the term electoral college brings back school-level political science! I knew there was something weird about the US election process but can never be motivated to go find out about it. [Hint: Somebody explain in 5 or less sentences!] Link to post Share on other sites
Sivart Reborn 7 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Basically... Within our legislative branch, we have our two-house system. Each U.S. state has a number of electors equal to the number of representatives in Congress we have (2 from the senate plus however much that state has in the House). These electors cast their states' vote on the President, not a direct popular vote by the people. Now, they are supposed to follow the popular vote of their state, but that's not necessarily the 100% case. 4 sentences. Woo! Edited October 31, 2008 by Sivart Link to post Share on other sites
