Ideally, the people of the US elect their officials, but technically the "Electoral College" elects the President and VP. ------------------------ Each state gets a number of "official" votes called electoral votes. The size of the population in each state determines how many votes each states get. (Each state has the number of "electoral votes" equal to its number of US Senators and US Representatives combined.) Depending on how the people of the state vote (i.e Democrat or Republican), the Electors (people chosen on the ballot) cast their votes for each candidate. Some states divide their votes, but most are "all or nothing" for the prevailing party. The people's votes are called the "popular vote", and it has occurred that candidates with more "popular votes" have actually lost. (e.g. in 1888 - see link)
