This video is one of the cleanest, simplest explanations of the goofy way the US elects the president. Think your vote just counts directly, end of story? Oh, nopey nope! Even if you think you know how it works, this is a fine refresher course to make sure you really have it nailed down going into November.
Now you know the nuts and bolts of how they get there; how much do you know about some of the individual elections and presidential firsts?

2Wow, that was really well done!
3That's a really cool video
4I love this video so much! Now if only they made those for my differential equations calc class...
5Cute. I wonder if they have one explaining the primaries. I admit it was mid February before I really understood what super-delegates were.
6wow only 30%... that is really sad considering i'm a history and government double major hah
7I don't know why we have the electoral college system. Why don't we just go to a popular vote? If more people want someone, then they're the better candidate. That's how a democracy works. How could a hundred thousand lemmings be wrong?
We need to stop spending time fiddling around with states rights and make sure the federal government is the government of the people.
8great quiz! should have done a little better...
9Yay, 9 out of 10. They tricked me with those youngest elected and youngest served questions.
