Electoral College System

A Each state gets the same # of electoral votes to cast for president as they have members of congress ( ? Representatives + 2 Senators) 538 Total Electoral Votes

B Divide states into smaller districts. Each district has equal population Whoever wins more districts, gets all of the electoral votes If you win 5 of the 9 districts in Indiana, you win all 11 electoral votes

C Candidate who wins the majority of the electoral votes (270/538) = WINNER!
