The presidential election is based on the electoral college. The popular vote is based on the idea of checks and balances but it doesn't count. The electoral college for each state behaves a little differently. This is how a representative constitutional republic works.
Thanks. I know a bit of how electoral college works there. But I feel that India's way of electing a Prime Minister is a little more straight forward.
The electoral college is partial for some states can influence the elections more.
