How does the Electoral College work?
o Each state is allocated a number of Electors equal to its U.S. Senators plus the number of its U.S. Representatives (which may change each decade according to the population of the state)
o There are 538 electoral votes in a presidential election (including 3 from Washington, D.C.). A candidate must receive 270 electoral votes to win the election.
o Most states are “winner take all” states. This means the candidate winning the popular vote of that state receives all of its electoral votes.
