electoral college Don’t bother sending in an application; the Electoral College isn’t a regular college. It’s a process that the founding fathers came up as a compromise between election of the President by Congress and election by popular vote. When you vote for President, your vote counts as part of the popular vote. But to become president, the candidate also has to win the majority of the Electoral College votes. In 2000, although Al Gore won the popular vote, George W. Bush became president because he was awarded the majority of Electoral College votes.

Does Donald Trump Have a Mandate? George W. Bush, of course, narrowly lost the popular vote, a fact exacerbated by the Florida recount — yet four years later, Bush won a popular majority. If Trump is seen by the voters as a good president, he may do the same — and if he’s seen as a bad one, that will be his undoing, not the popular vote in 2016.
