The electoral college, made up of the electors from the states and DC elect the US President.
NO
a relatively small number of swing votes determined the outcome of these elections.
The electoral college has decided the outcome of several presidential elections in US history. Some notable examples include the elections of 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016. In these cases, the candidate who won the majority of the electoral college votes became the president, despite not winning the popular vote.
In the electoral college, there are 538 electors (or electoral votes), with at least 270 needed to win the presidential election. Although highly unlikely, it is possible that the electoral votes could be tied 269-269. If this were to happen, the vote would then go to Congress. It would be the duty of The House of Representatives to break the tie for the presidential election, and the duty of the Senate to break the tie for the vice presidential position.
Yes, Richard Nixon won both the popular vote and the electoral college vote in the 1972 presidential election. He received 60.7% of the popular vote, the highest percentage ever received by a presidential candidate at that time, and won 520 electoral votes out of 538.
voters participate in elections to choose their representatives in government
amount of votes from people, amount of votes from electoral college. (in other words, there is no particular algorithm that tells you who will win)
Court decisions have had the most dramatic impact on reshaping the Electoral College from its intended purpose. One significant decision was the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Bush v. Gore in 2000, which ultimately decided the outcome of the presidential election. This decision solidified the notion that the Electoral College, rather than the popular vote, determines the winner of the presidency, thus further shaping the role and influence of the Electoral College in contemporary elections.

The Gemini 4R model could likely be linked to the American presidential elections. Whether such a model would be useful in identifying causal relations or effects (for example, why does a certain candidate get elected? What would be the expected effect of a candidate's actions on their outcome?).
