It's because of the fucking Electoral College, which makes absolutely no sense, if it ever did. It's an abomination that has to be abolished.

How did we get the Electoral College? The Founding Fathers established the Electoral College in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress
