The popular vote is the direct count of votes by the voters. The electoral votes show how states voted for a presidential candidate. This exists to prevent a minor part of the country to choose for the rural areas. Without the electoral votes, winning only New York and California would be almost enough to ensure presidency because of the high amount of people living there.
