HOW WE ELECT OUR PRESIDENT--WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE?
Unlike the way we elect most other officeholders, the President of the United States is elected by a complicated, indirect system. For most other elections (i.e., Governors, U.S. Senators, etc.), voters simply vote for one of two or more candidates, and the one getting the most votes wins. Such elections are called "direct elections": the voter votes for the individual candidate of his or her choice. Elections for President, however, are quite different.
