The Electoral College
The candidate must receive 270 electoral votes to become president of the United States of America.
He got more votes than the other candidate.
In 1825 the candidate with the greatest number of electoral votes would become president and the candidate with the next - highest number would become vice president.
no=so far dere hasn't been any elections n tat da candidate hasn't become president=
It depends on how many votes the other candidate is getting. If you were a candidate running for president, and if your opponent had 74 votes, you'd have to get more than that to win the election. If he got 98, you have to get more than 98 to win.
To be declared the winner, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral college votes.
electorial college, and that's not a school
Not in the United States. The way the US is set up, the president is elected by electoral votes, not popular. In fact, President George W. Bush received a smaller portion of the popular vote instead of the electoral vote I believe.
The US is not a democracy because, the president is not elected by the majority of public votes, but by electoral college votes. There are cases when the candidate winning the majority of the polled votes was not declared elected, but the candidate who lost majority votes was.
