Many people are shocked to learn that it is possible to be elected President of the United States even if another candidate receives more votes than you. The reason for this is that, technically, it's not the voters who elect the President, but the members of a group called Electoral College. When you vote for the candidate of you choice, you're actually voting for an Electoral College member who supports that candidate. Each state gets a number of Electoral College members equal to the number of elected representatives it sends to the United States Congress. number is not based entirely on population, in rare cases it is possible to have a candidate win even if he or she loses the popular vote. This has happened for sure for three times in US history; most notably when George W. Bush won over Al Gore in their controversial year 2000 tussle. 許多人震驚得知即使另一個候選人的票數遠超過你還是有機會當選美國總統。其原因在於，按照法律來說，不是經由民眾選擇總統，而是經由一個叫做"選舉團"的團體成員所選。當我們投下自己理想的候選人時，實際上是投給選舉團所支持的候選人。每一州所得到的選擇團成員等同於獲選美國國會代表的數目。但這個數目不完全基於人口，在少數的例子當中是有可能讓候選人贏得選舉即使他（她）失去了民眾的票數。在美國歷史上只有發生過三次，最為人所知的是在喬治沃克布什贏取戈爾當二OOO年最具有爭議的辯論時。整篇都翻的很沒把握，請幫我在檢查看看　謝謝＞＿＜ -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.254.230.106
