Unfortunately, that's quickly becoming common everywhere, not just the US.

It's actually always been that way here. We've never directly voted for our highest office. Also factor in that blacks, women, non-land owners couldn't vote for a large portion of our nation's history.
Votes also don't matter as we found out in 2000. I have a feeling that Obama is going to win the popular vote by a lot this year but lose the electoral college.
