| Each state elects delegates and those delegates vote for who you told them to. |

We did, but instead of voting them directly we voted parties and they chose the president. |

| Direct election in the US would be dangerous though, considering that it is so vast and the biggest state is California. If direct elections existed, then the larger states would decided everything then. |

| It's better if it would be direct, 3 times the candidates won, but in reality lost. |
