To continue our talk about the Electoral College, I want you to look at this map. These are the total number of electoral votes each state gets. If a candidate wins the DIRECT POPULAR VOTE in each state they will win all of the ELECTORAL VOTES.
There are 538 electoral votes up for grabs. If you win the majority (or 270) you win the election!
