270 Electoral College Votes Wins?

from Cant Catch a Break Hosted by DeeJay & Dr. Char Phillips Johnson

The Electoral College is a 538-member body that elects a president. The framers of the Constitution set it up to give more power to the states and as a compromise to avoid having Congress decide the winner. Each state’s electors vote for the candidate who won the popular vote in that state. The runner-up gets nothing — except in Nebraska and Maine where elector votes are awarded based on congressional district and statewide results. To win the presidency, a candidate must secure 270 electoral votes — a majority of the 538 possible votes. btwlife.com
