The people elect “electors” to the Electoral College who choose the President. It has nothing to do with Congress.

A small percentage is based upon the people’s vote. The main way a president gets into office is by winning the most electoral votes. The system is call the Electoral College.

First of all, we are governed by laws that describe just how the process should happen. The actual decision of who shall be president is decided by the Electoral College. This is a group of people who are chosen by our votes in each state. Every state is awarded a certain number of votes, and they are translated into representatives in this group called the electoral college. Law usually requires that the member of the College vote as the state he or she is from has voted, but there are differences by state in how this happens. Some states have a winner-take-all policy. Florida was one of these. Although a candidate for the presidency recently only received about 600 more votes than his opponent, he received every one of the electoral votes from Florida because their system is “winner-take-all”. This system sounds unfair, but it was put in place because when we formed the United States, some states were larger than others, and the smaller states would only agree to join the United Stat
