Members phkrause Posted October 20, 2024 Author Members Posted October 20, 2024 No country still uses an electoral college − except the U.S. The United States is the only democracy in the world where a presidential candidate can get the most popular votes and still lose the election. Thanks to the Electoral College, that has happened five times in the country’s history. The most recent examples are from 2000, when Al Gore won the popular vote but George W. Bush won the Electoral College after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, and 2016, when Hillary Clinton got more votes nationwide than Donald Trump but lost in the Electoral College. https://www.newsfromthestates.com/article/no-country-still-uses-electoral-college-−-except-us?
