text: In the Electrol College system voters dont vote for the president, but for a slate of electors who then elect the President. so they cant realy elect president but they can elect people to vote them. For instace if you lived in texas and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry, they would vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pleged to karry(Brad Pumer). So when your "Vote for President " you are actualiy voting for an electorr that represnts the president they want to vote for One large flaw in the electorl college system is when candidates have a tie, then the election would be but in the house of Representatives where the state delegation voteson the President.
