Some people think that they're voting for the president of our country too.
These representatives are called electors. They are part of a system called the Electoral College. In most states the electors are chosen on a winner take all basis. The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for president and vice-president on December 18, 2000. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice- president from another.
