What is the Electoral College?
As established by the United States Constitution, the Electoral College is a formal process by which individual Americans' votes are represented in U.S. presidential elections.

Unlike in elections for mayors, governors or members of Congress, which are typically decided by comparing the total number of votes for each candidate, known as the popular vote, the winner of the presidency (and vice-presidency) is chosen each cycle by just 538 votes spread across the country, cast by representatives appointed by their state's government.
