@ wildflower – your doing great. I think the concept is clear. We have a really weird system here call the electoral college. It was supposed to be a system where the few represented the majority vote of numbers. If more voted for A then A got the vote. but
“The United States is the only current example of an indirectly elected executive president, with an electoral college made up of electors representing the 50 states and one federal district. Each state has a number of electors equivalent to its total Congressional representation, with the non-state District of Columbia receiving three electors. The electors generally cast their votes according to the winner of the popular vote in their respective states, but in many cases are not required by law to do so.”
They are not required by law to do so. So a single individual can negate thousands and thousands of votes, or entire states.
