🇺🇸🔄 Electoral College: When Popular Votes Don't Matter 🔄

In the United States, the person who gets the most popular votes doesn't always become president. The Electoral College system is when special representatives, the electors, decide the final outcome of an election. 📊

✨ Examples of unexpected results:

1876: Rutherford B. Hayes lost the popular vote, but won the electoral college.

1888: Grover Cleveland won the popular vote, but Benjamin Harrison became president.

2000: Al Gore won the popular vote, but George W. Bush became president.

2016: Hillary Clinton got the most votes, but Donald Trump won the electoral college. 🗳️

The Electoral College is a feature of the electoral system that can turn the tables! 😮

So, tomorrow's vote is not final yet, we are waiting for January 6, 2025, when members of the US Congress will gather to count them.
