Ah, so the popular vote chooses which set of electors' ballots to count toward the presidential vote.

huh, what do you know, our votes actually do count...

Great info, thanks a bunch!

So, in order to get a third party candidate elected, the third party has to be big enough, in enough states to have the electors they chose at their national convention go to the presidential vote. Did I get it right?

Unless of course neither R or D candidate can get 51% of the votes (270), in which case it goes that the whole House of Rep. process.

The things you learn on ninjette... I love this site!
