I have no idea how those two got to be the top candidates for this election. -_-

The American voting system is kinda weird. There's everyone's individual vote, which makes up the "popular vote", and then there's the states' votes. The number of votes there is determined by the state's population, and I think most states send all their votes after one candidate...? idk, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't really get it. But that's how the popular vote can actually be for the candidate who doesn't win.
