Kind of a yes and no answer actually.
Nationally we vote then the electoral college has the ability to decide if they want to go with the majority or not, up to this point they have gone mostly with the majority but there are a few instances where they have voted against the majority.

The problem is the Americans have this mistaken idea that we live in a democracy...but we do not, we live in a republic that uses "some" democratic process to elect its leadership, but we are far from a democracy. A true democracy is a terrible idea and all who have attempted it have failed miserably, much like communism it only works on a small scale and once it grows it reaches critical mass and falls apart every time.

But yeah the idea of one vote for one man/woman is a huge fallacy people need to get out of the habit of passing on.
