Amazing. We do. We do not have a direct election. We vote for delegates who then determine what number of electorial votes go to the election for one candidate or the other. I have always felt a direct vote would be better, but then we would have elected Al Gore and never would have had Bush as president. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
