Understanding the Role of the Electoral College in the US Presidential Election
Nov 3, 2024, 03:15 AM
The Electoral College is a crucial component of the US Presidential Election process. It is an institution that determines the outcome of the presidential race based on the votes of electors from each state. Each state is allocated a certain number of electors based on its representation in Congress, which includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The candidate who receives the majority of electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, wins the presidency. This system can result in a candidate winning the presidency without securing the popular vote, as seen in previous elections.
