Electoral College

    • The number of electoral votes a state gets is the total number of its Congressional seats (U.S. Senators and Representatives)
    • In the general election, regular voters cast their ballots for the presidential candidate of their choice
    • In every state except Maine and Nebraska, whoever wins the general election in a state gets all of the electoral votes for that state. Maine and Nebraska use a proportional ratio.
    • Electors are pledged to vote by their political parties
    • Electors who do not vote as they have pledged are called "Faithless Electors"
