"The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens."
electoral vote is the population of the state and and the amount of citizen that live state and popular votes is the amount of citizen that vote for a presidential election
if the president lost popular vote and got fewer electoral votes, he/she isn't the president... so that doesnt make sense. but yea, they wouldn't be elected cause they lost both popular and electoral. that's the question right? cause if you mean he lost popular vote but won electoral votes, he would become the president
The U.S. Electoral College system is a system of indirect election. In accordance with Article II of the United States Constitution, electoral votes determine the President and Vice President of the United States. The electors are elected by popular vote in each state and each candidate for elector swears in advance whom he will vote for. The electors from each of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia then cast their electoral votes to elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Examples of direct elections are elections of the representatives in the U. S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
