Electoral college got him in.

Yes, the Electoral College, the presidential voting system used in this country for over 100 years.

@Budwick Exactly! The rules were set prior to the election.

@Terrasworld Yes, they were.
They were set in 1804 actually.
Even HArriet had time to read the whole thing.

@Harriet03 that's the only way to win, 270 electoral votes. Popular vote doesn't win the election and he had plenty of votes to win.

@Terrasworld @Budwick Agreed. However she said the people voted him in, that is not true!!

Terrasworld · 26-30, F

@Harriet03 The people of the United States voted him in. The votes are allocated according to each states' perspective population.

@Harriet03 the people did vote for him though. That's why he's the president.
