Federally, the States choose the President with the Electoral College. Sometimes (usually) popular vote dictates how the members vote. Usually, if a State is even 51%:49% for a candidate, the candidate gets 100% of the vote. Thus, it has happened that the lesser popular over all vote was reflected in a greater Electoral College vote. (Huh?)
