if you watch the news during a
presidential election you'll hear a lot
of this what do the national polls look
like hillary clinton's national league
nationally joe biden is currently ahead
but these national polls don't actually
tell you who's going to win throw the
national polls out the window they don't
matter at all what matters are those

most democracies around the world elect
their head of state with a popular vote
so whoever gets the most votes wins
but in america we do it a little
differently
the u.s is the only country that picks
its president using something called the
electoral college it's made up of
delegates from each u.s state when
americans vote for president what
they're actually voting for is who their
state will vote for
this is why every so often someone wins
the presidency without winning the
popular vote that's happened twice in
just the past 20 years
the majority of americans do not like
the system and haven't for a long time
both political parties have made
attempts to get rid of it so why does
the u.s still use the electoral college
and who actually benefits from it
the electoral college is based on how
people are represented in congress where
each state has a number of
representatives based on its population
and every state also gets two senators

has a huge population and vermont which
has a really small one texas has 36
representatives in congress vermont only
gets one
representatives in both states each
represent roughly the same number of
people
