It is possible that the winner of tomorrow’s US presidential election won’t be the candidate with the most votes. That’s because the president is not chosen directly by the popular vote, but by something called the electoral college. Here’s our explainer - using jelly beans.

Elon Musk Educates Don Lemon on Illegal Immigrants, Census, and the Electoral College LEMON: "You claim that Democrats and Biden are opening the border to gain more votes, but undocumented immigrants cannot vote in Federal Elections, so how is that possible?" MUSK: "If you look at the apportionment with and without illegals, I believe... there would be a net loss for blue states of approximately 20 seats in the House. This also applies to electing the president because the electoral college votes are also done by apportionment the same way that House seats are done." LEMON: "But the reason the electoral college is in place is to balance that so that doesn't happen. So what you're saying about it is the exact opposite of the reason why the electoral college is there." MUSK: "My understanding is that Democrats would lose approximately 20 seats in the House if illegals were not counted in the census, and that's also 20 less electoral votes for President. So illegals absolutely do affect who controls the House and who controls the presidency." Elon Musk bluesky

Joe Biden is dropping out because he realized that America is bigger than one person. The office is sacred. America is important. Contrast this with the guy who lost the election by 74 electoral votes and did everything he could to try and stay in power. Remember that in November when you are voting for someone who respects the office of President of the United States.

THIS IS INSANE! Clerance Thomas, who was appointed by George H. W. Bush, would be the only GOP justice currently on the SCOTU. If you'd lived in a democracy where the candidate with the most votes wins the presidency. Do you agree that the electoral college has got to go?

Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Electoral College: “An anachronism that was designed for slave owning states." In the meantime, she wants states to award their electoral votes to the popular vote winner and legislation to protect that from “Supreme Court interference." Democrats who lose presidential elections are always the most bitter about the system by which they lost.

Vice President Kamala Harris on The View: “It is the closest presidential race in the 21st century, in terms of the outcome.” *Crowds claps* Ana Navarro: “You know, say that again because he likes to say over and over again that he got a mandate.” President Trump won the popular vote by almost 2M votes and won the Electoral College vote by 86 points. It wasn’t close!

Tony Gonzales: We just want to make sure that our votes are being counted. It's when that doesn't happen, or the perception that it doesn't happen, that is dangerous to our republic. Dana Bash: The perception is being laid out by a president who is trying to sow doubt in this coming election, never mind the past elections.

☝️“In one of the US laws that explicitly mentions Russia, the stated goal is to "democratize" the Russian Federation. Can you imagine us setting a goal in our own domestic legislation to "democratize" the United States? You know, that is at least impolite. But in principle, we could do it, and there are reasons for that. Everyone is well aware that twice in US history, a president has come to power who was elected by a majority of electors but had a minority of voters behind him. Is that democratic? No. Democracy is the power of the people, the power of the majority. How is it possible that a person is elected to the highest office in the state by a minority of voters? There is such a problem in the US Constitution. But we are not demanding that you change your Constitution, are we?” - President Putin.

81 million votes… but still getting heckled by the crowd. 🤣 That’s got to be awkward for the “most popular president in history.” The numbers say one thing, the audience says another.

Jemele Hill PUSHES the myth that abolishing the Electoral College would make your vote COUNT Larry O'Connor RIPS on Jemele Hill and Ana Navarro for blindly accepting that the Electoral College is "rooted in slavery" while ignoring how a popular vote would SILENCE the votes of millions of Americans. "Why is it just accepted that the Electoral College is rooted in slavery? Why is that a thing?" O'Connor then BLASTS Jemele Hill for claiming Americans feel their votes don't matter under the current system. "Nothing says your vote doesn't matter than sitting in South Dakota and going and voting for your candidate and knowing that it won't matter because all you got to do is rack up the votes in wackadoodle California and your vote will be overturned because mob rules and the majority wins. A popular vote for president in this country would be the epitome of your vote doesn't matter. And no one would ever campaign in Wisconsin or Michigan or Iowa. Why bother? All the campaigns will take place in California and Florida and Texas and Illinois and New York. It's obvious. It's basic logic." L A R R Y

🚨 Trump: Wayne County (Detroit) is one of the most corrupt voting areas in America. More votes than voters! Vote for Mike Rogers and make Michigan TOO BIG TO RIG! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "Wayne County (Detroit) in Michigan is one of the most corrupt voting areas in the United States, if not the World. It is strictly Third World! Miracles happen in Wayne County, including more votes being cast than there are voters, by a lot. Therefore, the Communist, who is not liked in Detroit, is potentially in “Vote Counter” trouble. The Radical Left Socialist has a real shot, and don’t discount all of those fake mail-in ballots that will “surprisingly” show up at the last moment. Get ready for another Rigged Election. In November we must VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS, and make Michigan TOO BIG TO RIG. God Bless America! President DJT"

What happens if no candidate for President gets the magic 270 Electoral College votes to get elected? Well if that happens then the House of Representatives, not voters or electors, elects your next President. That’s called a “contingent election.” Here’s how that works:
