The Electoral College. America's unique way of picking her President.

00:03

For it or against it, you might want to know there's a plan to use the Electoral College to subvert the Electoral College.

00:09

It's a sneaky plan and to understan(d), remember that: while it feels like citizens pick the president in one big election, they don't.

00:16

The 50 states pick the president. Oh and, District of Columbia.

00:19

But not you, Puerto Rico -- come back when you're a state.

00:22

How the states come together and how they vote is what the Electoral College is.

00:26

Each state gets votes proportional to her population (plus two) and is free to cast these votes however she wants.

00:32

Most look at how their citizens voted and give all their Electoral College votes to the state-wide winner.

00:37

But they don't have to. A couple states cast their votes proportional-ish to their citizens' preferences.

00:42

But states are free to vote however. Including against the preferences of their citizens.

00:47

Let's make a note of that. But back to this plus two, which is why some citizens *really* don't like the Electoral College.

00:53

The plus two means: the states less populous produce preponderate presidential picking power per person.

00:58

At the extremes, some states get one vote per low hundred thousand people and some states one vote per high hundred thousand.
