The US President is chosen by the Electoral College, which is obligated by law to vote according to the results of the popular election in all but two states. The number of Electors for each state is determined by their population as a percentage of the total US population, counted during the last census. For this reason, it is possible for a candidate to win the national popular election, but lose in the electoral college.

Electoral members can and HAVE voted for other then the candidate they were sent to support
