As pundits and voters alike begin to predict the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, the controversial nature of the United States' presidential election system has again come into focus. In the United States, presidents are elected via indirect election, meaning that voters do not directly elect presidential candidates through the popular vote. Instead, the public elects representatives, or electors, who then directly vote for the president. This type of voting is made possibly by a system called the Electoral College.The Electoral College is a uniquely American institution. The College is comprised of 538 electors representing all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.; these electors cast the "actual" votes for President. The number of electors a state receives is determined by the number of Congress members a state has collectively in the House and Senate. For a candidate to be elected President of the United States, they have to receive a majority of the Electoral College votes, which is 270 or more.
Generally-speaking, electors in each state are expected to vote for their party's nominee, though that doesn't always happen. The candidate who wins the plurality of votes in a state gains all of the electors from that state due to the Electoral College's winner-takes-all rule. An exception to this rule exists in Nebraska and Maine, where electorate votes can be split according to congressional district. In other words, Trump might win one district in Maine and Clinton could win another
