Why do some consider our method of electing a president undemocratic?
In a true democracy, the people would elect a President directly. The President of the US is elected by the Electoral College, which allocates votes to states based on a formula that gives smaller states a higher number of delegates than if purely apportioned by population. The end result is that the candidate who receives the highest number of popular votes is not necessarily elected President. The US government is not a true democracy, nor was it intended to be. It is a representative democracy, meaning that rather than vote on everything, we elect representatives to vote on our behalf.
How did the election process begin in the US?
