@lerven@tweesecake.social thanks for answering anyway. Its just a concept that I don't get because we don't have anything like it. I have been an election buff all my life and was just listening to a podcast where this came up so figure I would ask. There are other odd things like the electoral college. I have heard the rationale for it but it doesn't seem very fare to me. However, since I don't get to vote in those elections, who cares what I think I just find this stuff really interesting..
