I understand how the system of the country I live in works. I was responding to the comment that everyone in other countries understands how the system works in the USA.
I’m an American who has paid attention to and participated in politics for over 20 years and I still get confused, our method of electing leaders is seriously WTF.
the electoral college is only for the president, the rest is pretty on point. the only “national” election is when the electoral college votes (we don’t vote for the president directly, we vote for how we want our state’s electors to vote), and the rest is left up to the states (who love to make as huge a mess as they can of it), which is why the details seem obfuscated.
No it doesn’t. I’m pretty interested in politics so I understand some of it
electricalelectoral college.If you’re pretty interested in politics you should learn how it works. I’m not interested in politics, but fully understand how they work.
And yea it is a weird and convoluted system, but it’s really not that complex or confusing.

Is it that different states have different amounts of electors based on population?
