News and current affairs

American presidents are elected by an Electoral College in which each state votes in proportion to the number of members it has in Congress.

In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote, but George W. Bush prevailed in the electoral college.

Thus, the two candidates' campaigns are focusing heavily on a dozen or so states in which voters are closely divided and could sway the electoral college outcome.

Not only does the Electoral College confuse predictions based on national opinion polls, but there is also the possibility of surprises which can lead to last-minute reversals.
