electoral college
The electors appointed by the states elected the President and Vice President in the first three elections, just as they will in 2012. However, in the 1700s, not all states chose their electors based on a public vote, as all the states choose to do now.
The framers the elector to choose both vice and the president by the most vote. This is chosen by a group.
The electors or Electoral College.
The group is called the electoral college and its member are electors.
11 presidential electors who vote for the president and vice-president.
I think you are referring to the electors who make up the electoral college that officially elects the President and Vice President.
Each party convention nominates one candidate for president and one candidate for vice-president and the two candidates run as a team. The popular vote can not be split since the voters are really electing electors and the same electors vote for both president and vice-president. Although there are separate electoral votes for president and vice-president, the electors vote for their party's nominee in each.
This group is called the electoral college; its members are called electors and the votes it casts are called electoral votes.
By a body of presidential electors
They run as a team and are both elected by the same electors who have pledged to support their candidacy. The only way they could not be from the same party would be if no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote so the House of Representatives chose the President and the Senate chose the Vice-President.
