General elections for the presidency 

The Electoral College is a mechanism of electing presidents that dates from a 1787 compromise. The winning election coalition celebrates the Electoral College’s consistency with American federalism and the Electoral College winner usually coincides with the winner of the overall popular vote. The losing election coalition of a popular vote winner may decry its inconsistencies with truly representative government.
