In this English lesson, I explain how American vote for a United States presidents. It is pretty complicated because we don't directly elect our president. There is something in between the votes and the president, and that's called the electoral college. Large states like California have many electoral college votes, 55. Small states like mine only have four, but the popular vote really doesn't matter. Hillary Clinton actually got more votes in 2016, but Donald Trump because president because he won the electoral college votes. I also talk about how blue states are Democratic states and how red states are Republican states.
