The Electoral College. The President of the United States is not elected by the voters of the USA. The President is elected by members of the Electoral College. When we vote for President, we're actually voting for ELECTORS, who are pledged to vote for the winner of the nominee. However, there is no requirement that an elector must vote for the person he's supposed to represent. People who do not vote they way they are supposed to are called "faithless electors", and there have been several dozen over the 230-year history of the USA. Fortunately, no "faithless elector" has ever made the difference in the results of the election.
