The vote split: People vs. process
The electoral college is the system the United States uses to choose its president. Each state is assigned a number of "electors" based on its population, so when voters cast ballots, they are actually voting for electors who then vote for the president. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote gets all of the state's electoral votes.
