if you watch the news during a

00:01

presidential election you'll hear a lot

00:03

of this what do the national polls look

00:05

like hillary clinton's national league

00:07

nationally joe biden is currently ahead

00:08

but these national polls don't actually

00:11

tell you who's going to win throw the

00:13

national polls out the window they don't

00:16

matter at all what matters are those

00:17

swing states ah yes the swing states

00:21

most democracies around the world elect

00:23

their head of state with a popular vote

00:25

so whoever gets the most votes wins

00:27

but in america we do it a little

00:29

differently

00:31

the u.s is the only country that picks

00:33

its president using something called the

00:34

electoral college it's made up of

00:37

delegates from each u.s state when

00:39

americans vote for president what

00:41

they're actually voting for is who their

00:43

state will vote for

00:44

this is why every so often someone wins

00:47

the presidency without winning the

00:49

popular vote that's happened twice in

00:51

just the past 20 years

00:54

the majority of americans do not like

00:56

the system and haven't for a long time

00:59

both political parties have made

01:00

attempts to get rid of it so why does

01:03

the u.s still use the electoral college

01:06

and who actually benefits from it

01:12

the electoral college is based on how

01:14

people are represented in congress where

01:16

each state has a number of

01:17

representatives based on its population

01:20

and every state also gets two senators

01:23

so for example let's look at texas which

01:25

has a huge population and vermont which

01:28

has a really small one texas has 36

01:31

representatives in congress vermont only

01:33

gets one

01:34

representatives in both states each

01:36

represent roughly the same number of

01:38

people
