This is because a US president is not directly elected by the votes, but rather through a unique system called the electoral college. These electors comprise the electoral college, a system that does not exist anywhere in the world. With two senate seats, it has a total of 55 electoral college votes. Apart from a few rare exceptions, the electoral college members vote in line with the voting in their states. The opponents of the system argue that the electoral college does not ensure that every voice is heard and therefore runs counter to the spirit of democracy.
