Merc, I think that the Dems and GOP want to perpetrate the myth that the respective party conventions are the process by which the President is elected in the U.S. I really don't believe the average joe knows what the electoral college is. It is a little scary if you ask me.

The only places the popular vote counts is in states where the state constitution specifically links the popular vote to the Electoral College.
There are currently 24 states that have no legal requirement for their electors to cast their vote with the popular vote of that state.
