Only, the President/Vice President (they are elected as a pair) are not elected by popular vote, but by a complicated system called the Electoral College, in which people actually vote for Electors, and not directly for their preferred candidate. It is possible to be elected president even if you received less popular votes than another candidate, if you received more Electoral College votes.

* Disclosure: May or may not be true. Probably not. But then again possible, maybe, or not, could be, perhaps.

+1000. It actually helped quite a bit, in spite of gray skies, cold breeze and temp in the 40’s.

Highly recommended.
