The Electoral College
Jan 02, 2016
It is what makes us a Republic. Elected officials cast the vote for the
President, not the people. The candidate who receives the most votes
in that state from the popular vote, will get the state’s electoral votes.
What Is It?
100 Senators- 2 for each state 435 Rep’s in the House- based on the
population of the state. 3 electors from Washington D.C. 538 total electoral votes, need 270 to win. 2 senators+ number of
representatives=number of electoral votes.
Who Votes in the Electoral College?
Not a true vote of the people. Certain states receive more attention than
others. People are confused by it.
