Subject: RE: BS: Inauguration--To Watch or Not to Watch??
In Germany in 1932 the Presidential election was a direct voting process which Hindenburg won as he got more votes than the other candidates.
The electoral college in the US grants various states votes. The convention goes that the votes of each state go to the Presidential candidate that won the popular vote in that particular state. It is therefore NOT an APPOINTMENT.
