Those practicing polygamy in the United States today do it the same way as Bill Paxton on Big Love. They are legally married to their first wife, and additional wives they are married to in a personal ceremony that is not legally recognized. This way, they can rarely be convicted on bigamy charges, because they are only married to one person.
Polygamy is illegal in the United States because back when the mainstream Mormon Church practiced polygamy, the government made it illegal so that they could seize the property of the Church and not allow Utah to become a state. The Church stopped the practice in 1890, got their property back, and Utah became a state in 1896. A bunch of groups broke off from the main Church (like those on Big Love, or the FLDS that you see on the news) to continue practicing polygamy. The mainstream Mormon church continues to not allow polygamy, even outside the United States.
