ask Al Gore...
but usually you have more than 2 candidates, if one gets more than 50% in the first election, he's the winner.
otherwise the 2 with the most votes run for a second round
but in the US that won't work anyways since the president is not elected directly and it is realistically impossible that a third party will be able to win enough states to elect someone else than a republican or democrat
so you are stuck with these guys
