ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Los norteamericanos no votan directamente a su Presidente o a su vicepresidente, sino que votan a unos compromisarios (electors) que a su vez se comprometen a votar a determinados candidatos. Estos compromisarios conforman el electoral college, tal y como se contempla en la Constitución. El número de votos que tiene un estado para elegir al Presidente es igual al de senadores y diputados. Cada partido político elige a un grupo de compromisarios y en el día de las elecciones presidenciales el pueblo vota al grupo que apoya al candidato de su elección. Como el grupo que gana usa todos los votos del estado para votar a su candidato, podría ocurrir, en teoría, que un candidato ganara el voto popular pero no las elecciones, si le han apoyado colegios electorales con un número pequeño de votos.
