Who elects the president?November 7,2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are 1 representatives in local and national races. Some people think that they're voting for the president of the country, too. They're not! Again, they're voting for 2 . These representatives are called electors(有选举权的人). They are part of a system called the Electoral College(总统选举团).
In most states the electors are chosen on a winner take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate(候选人) to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his 3 .
The electors will meet in their respeetive(各自的) states and cast their votes for president and vice-president on December 18,2000. The Constitution(宪法) does not 4 the electors to vote for the candidates that they are pledged to, but they almost always do. On January 6,2001, just two weeks 5 the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in Congress.
If no one gets a majority (more than half) of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the 6 will be chosen by Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the 7 and the Senate will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.
In an extremely close election, all kinds of strange outcomes are 8 . Will the 9 that most voters prefer be the next 10 ? And when will we even know?
