помогите с переводом текста. Только не с яндекс-переводчика! так любой сможет. Желательно чтоб был более точный. The President is not elected directly, but by an Electoral College. The electors who actually choose the President are now
completely pledged in advance to one person and their names have almost entirely disappeared from the ballot papers to be replaced by the names of the candidates themselves. The candidates who win the most votes within a State receive all its Electoral College votes (equal to the number of senators and representatives from that State), no matter how small the majority.

Each US State is free to determine its own electoral laws, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Constitution, national legislation and the Supreme Court. This has enabled many states, particularly in the South, to prevent blacks and different minorities from voting by such means as poll taxes and literacy tests. After the 1965 Voting Act (giving federal government officials the job of registering voters in States where literacy tests are used) and the abolition of poll taxes (24th Amendment), black voters are now proportionally only 10 % fewer than white voters.
