Every state (and Washington, D.C.) is guaranteed at least three electoral votes. A sparsely populated state like North Dakota - which has two senators but only one congressional representative - gets just three electoral votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other end of the spectrum is crowded California, which gets 55 electoral votes (equal to its 53 congressional representatives and two senators).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly -- and controversially -- the more than four million people living in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and Guam get no electors.

That means the candidate who receives the most popular votes -- the plurality -- in each state, gets all that state's Republican or Democratic electors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's bad news for the other candidates in the race: even if they lose the popular vote by a single votes, they walk away from that state empty-handed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that's why California and other very populous states like New York, Texas, and Florida are political jackpots: they have so many delicious electors for the taking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As if this wasn't complicated enough, there are actually two states that follow different rules. Maine and Nebraska use a proportional system, in which two electors are chosen by statewide popular vote and the remaining electors are decided by popular vote within each congressional district.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Why is 270 the magic number to win the race?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are 538 electors nationwide, and to win the presidency, a candidate needs just over half - or 270 of them. So, if you win a state like California (even if you win it by a single measly vote), you've just secured about 20 percent of the votes you need to be sitting pretty in the White House come January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conversely, presidential candidates on the campaign trail generally don't spend too much time in relatively underpopulated states like the Dakotas, where electors are scarce. You also probably won't find them campaigning too much in big but generally politically predictable states like Democratic-leaning California or Republican-leaning Texas. It's the big swing states (a.k.a. the battleground states) - like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Virginia - where they'll likely be spending most of their time as the election nears.

Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would then elect the vice president, with each Senator casting a vote. This has only happened once: in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/congress-decides-outcome-of-presidential-election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1824 presidential election\u003c/a>, Andrew Jackson won the most popular votes and led the pack in electoral votes. But because it was a competitive race among four candidates, Jackson fell short of winning the requisite electoral majority. Congress decided the outcome, and ultimately elected Jackson's rival John Quincy Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>When do electors cast their official votes?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Oddly, it's not until about a month after Election Day. On the Monday following the second Wednesday of December (stay with me here), each state's electors meet in their respective state capitals and cast their votes -- one for president and one for vice president. This event never really gets a whole lot of attention because everyone already knows that those electors are almost certainly going to vote for the candidate in their own party. The results are announced the first week in January and the president is sworn in two weeks later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technically, electors \u003cem>can\u003c/em> change their minds, but it's only happened a \u003ca href=\"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,55439,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">handful of times\u003c/a> (these electors are labeled \"faithless\").\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>This is really confusing! How about a real example?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sure. Let's look back at the historic 2008 election when Democrat Barack Obama handily defeated Republican John McCain. First off, in terms of electoral votes, Obama pretty much killed it - he ended up with more twice what John McCain had: 365 compared to 173.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Obama won the election by less than 10 million popular votes. Why? Because he was able to squeak out wins in the big critical swing states (namely Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida), amassing all of those electoral votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened in Florida is actually a great example of just how peculiar our electoral system can be:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sunshine State is the quintessential mother-lode swing state; always unpredictable and worth a big chunk of electoral votes. In 2008, Obama won it by a margin of less than three percent (he got about 51 percent to McCain's 48 percent). We're talking about a victory of less than 300,000 votes. But because of Florida's winner-take-all rule, Obama's slim victory secured him all 27 of the state's electoral votes (leaving McCain with squat). So, depending on how you look at it, you could technically argue that the votes cast by the more than 4 million Floridians who voted for McCain didn't really end up counting for much at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Can a candidate win the presidency without winning the popular vote?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Indeed! This has actually occurred five different times: in 1876 and 1888, Rutherford B. Hayes and Benjamin Harrison, respectively, won the White House even though they lost the popular vote (but won the electoral vote). And then there was that strange 1824 election, decided by the U.S. House of Representatives, which handed the presidency to John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there was the infamous 2000 election, ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, in which Al Gore won more popular votes than George W. Bush, but came up short on electoral votes (following a controversial Florida recount). Guess who then became a staunch advocate for getting rid of the Electoral College?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally (but probably not the last) was the 2016 election, in which Hillary Clinton famously received nearly 3 million more votes than Donald Trump. But guess who won the presidency?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Why did the Founding Fathers come up with such a zany system? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two main reasons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>a) They wanted to steer clear of the British parliamentary model, in which the chief executive (prime minister) is chosen by elected representatives of the majority party. The founders thought that it was more democratic to appoint electors from each state than to have a system in which the president was elected by Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>b) It came down to an issue of old-school logistics: Back in the day, long distance communication and travel was, to put it mildly, a challenge. Voting for delegates at a local level was easier and less susceptible to tampering and corruption than was counting every last person's vote across the whole country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What are arguments for keeping the Electoral College?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>It's intended to make candidates pay at least some attention to less-populated states and rural regions (whose electors can add up) rather than focusing entirely on voter-rich urban centers.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It avoids the need for a nationwide recount in the event of a very close race.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It's consistent with America's representative system of government and it's in our Constitution, so just leave it be!\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>And how about against?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Under our current electoral system, not all votes are equal; voters in swing states and less populous states have disproportionate power. And that means that not every vote has equal impact. In a direct democracy, everyone's vote would have the same weight regardless of geography.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It encourages candidates to focus their campaigns largely in swing states while often ignoring the millions of voters in more populous states that tend to predictably favor one party.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It's a super outdated system that makes it possible for a candidate to win more votes but still lose the election.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"It's a somewhat mysterious group of 538 Electoral College 'electors' that directly cast the actual votes to determine who the next president will be.\r\n\r\n","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1604457965,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":32,"wordCount":1610},"headData":{"title":"EXPLAINER: What’s the Deal With the Electoral College? - The Lowdown","description":"It's a somewhat mysterious group of 538 Electoral College 'electors' that directly cast the actual votes to determine who the next president will be.\r\n\r\n","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"3825 http://blogs.kqed.org/lowdown/?p=3825","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/10/13/what-is-the-electoral-college-and-is-it-time-to-get-rid-of-it/","disqusTitle":"EXPLAINER: What's the Deal With the Electoral College?","path":"/lowdown/3825/what-is-the-electoral-college-and-is-it-time-to-get-rid-of-it","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/O1DeSLZkPrg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/O1DeSLZkPrg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Oct. 28, 2020\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a little factual nugget that never fails to baffle:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American voters DO NOT directly elect the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, you read that correctly: the U.S. president is not chosen through a one-person, one-vote system of direct democracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When voters head to the polls on Election Day to select the next president, they're not actually voting for any one person.

It ran only once, during an NBC broadcast of Monday Night at the Movies on September 7, 1964.

Humphrey ended up losing the 1968 presidential race to Richard Nixon, this ad still packed a punch by portraying Spiro Agnew, Nixon's relatively unknown running mate, as a political neophyte, so inexperienced as to be, literally, laughable.

With the U.S. military still deeply engaged in the Vietnam War, Nixon's campaign sought to portray Democrats as weak on national defense, with policies that would place the nation in peril.

The ads helped Reagan handily defeat his Democratic opponent Walter Mondale, with 98 percent of the electoral vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>George H.W.

The ad capitalized on the case of Willie Horton, a Massachusetts state prison inmate and one of the program's participants, who in 1987 raped a woman while on weekend furlough. The black-and-white ad successfully cast doubt on Dukakis' ability to govern and protect public safety, striking a major blow to his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bush won with 80 percent of the electoral vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Bill Clinton's \"Man From Hope\" (1992)\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq_x3JUwrU0&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An edited down version of a much longer biographical film shown at the 1992 Democratic Convention, this commercial widely considered among the most compelling biographical ads ever made.

Produced by Will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas and Jesse Dylan (Bob Dylan's son), the ad put music to Obama's New Hampshire primary concession speech (after he lost the state to Hilary Clinton). It features a succession of over 30 celebrity performers singing his words. First posted on YouTube, the video quickly went viral, with over 26 million views in just a few days.

If passed, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2012/36_11_2012.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 36\u003c/a> would reduce sentences for second and third strike offenders. Opponents of the measure warn that doing so will lead to an increase in violent crime. San Francisco State University film students Owen Wesson, Aaron Firestone, Marine Gautier, and Daniel Casillas took to the road this fall to collect a range of perspectives on a thorny, emotionally-charged issue that questions how best to handle crime prevention and fairly administer justice in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003c!--more-->The Background\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1992, 18-year-old Kimber Reynolds was attacked by two men who attempted to steal her purse outside a restaurant in Fresno. One of the men shot her in the head. She died 26 hours later. The 25-year-old shooter - who was killed shortly thereafter in a police standoff - was described by police as a hardcore drug user who had been repeatably jailed on gun and drug charges, and who just two months earlier had been released from state prison where he served a sentence for auto theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his daughter's death, Mike Reynolds began fighting for a statewide tough-on-crime policy to keep potentially violent criminals off the streets. His effort gained widespread support following the kidnapping, rape and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas just eighteen months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1994, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 184, known as the \"Three Strikes and You're Out Law,\" which Reynolds helped author. In effect ever since, the law has significantly increased the length of prison sentences for second and third time offenders who had a serious or violent original conviction Even if repeat convictions are minor - such as petty theft or drug possession - a second strike offense now results in double the normal prison term. A third strike gets a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life. Of the roughly 24 states with a three strikes type law, California's is widely considered the harshest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians remain sharply divided over three strikes. Advocates like Mike Reynolds are quick to note the dramatic decrease in crime statewide since it was enacted: by 2004, \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/crime\" target=\"_blank\">the statewide violent crime rate had gone down by half\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents argue that the law unfairly imprisons scores of low-level offenders for excessive periods at a huge expense to taxpayers. In the decade after the law's passage, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/reports_research/offender_information_services_branch/Annual/Ipop2Archive.html\" target=\"_blank\">the state prison population increased by roughly thirty percent\u003c/a>, and the prison budget skyrocketed. Today, of the more than \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/reports_research/offender_information_services_branch/Quarterly/Strike1Archive.html\" target=\"_blank\">41,000 second and third strike inmates in California's prisons\u003c/a>, more than half are serving elongated sentences for non-violent crimes. Of these, more than 6,000 are for drug-related offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All attempts to reform three strikes, including a ballot proposition in 2004 have failed. But on Nov. 6, California will again reconsider the issue, and vote on Proposition 36, a measure that which would significantly revise the three strikes law, resulting in shorter sentences for many non-violent, non-serious offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2012/36_11_2012.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">California Legislative Analyst's Office\u003c/a> estimates that if Prop 36 passes, it will save California roughly $70 to $90 million annually.

Opponents of the measure warn that doing so will lead to an increase in violent crime. San Francisco State University film students Owen Wesson, Aaron Firestone, Marine Gautier, and Daniel Casillas took to the road this fall to collect a range of perspectives on a thorny, emotionally-charged issue that questions how best to handle crime prevention and fairly administer justice in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003c!--more-->The Background\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 1992, 18-year-old Kimber Reynolds was attacked by two men who attempted to steal her purse outside a restaurant in Fresno. One of the men shot her in the head. She died 26 hours later. The 25-year-old shooter - who was killed shortly thereafter in a police standoff - was described by police as a hardcore drug user who had been repeatably jailed on gun and drug charges, and who just two months earlier had been released from state prison where he served a sentence for auto theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his daughter's death, Mike Reynolds began fighting for a statewide tough-on-crime policy to keep potentially violent criminals off the streets. His effort gained widespread support following the kidnapping, rape and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas just eighteen months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1994, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 184, known as the \"Three Strikes and You're Out Law,\" which Reynolds helped author. In effect ever since, the law has significantly increased the length of prison sentences for second and third time offenders who had a serious or violent original conviction Even if repeat convictions are minor - such as petty theft or drug possession - a second strike offense now results in double the normal prison term. A third strike gets a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life. Of the roughly 24 states with a three strikes type law, California's is widely considered the harshest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians remain sharply divided over three strikes. Advocates like Mike Reynolds are quick to note the dramatic decrease in crime statewide since it was enacted: by 2004, \u003ca href=\"http://oag.ca.gov/crime\" target=\"_blank\">the statewide violent crime rate had gone down by half\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But opponents argue that the law unfairly imprisons scores of low-level offenders for excessive periods at a huge expense to taxpayers. In the decade after the law's passage, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/reports_research/offender_information_services_branch/Annual/Ipop2Archive.html\" target=\"_blank\">the state prison population increased by roughly thirty percent\u003c/a>, and the prison budget skyrocketed. Today, of the more than \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/reports_research/offender_information_services_branch/Quarterly/Strike1Archive.html\" target=\"_blank\">41,000 second and third strike inmates in California's prisons\u003c/a>, more than half are serving elongated sentences for non-violent crimes. Of these, more than 6,000 are for drug-related offenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All attempts to reform three strikes, including a ballot proposition in 2004 have failed. But on Nov. 6, California will again reconsider the issue, and vote on Proposition 36, a measure that which would significantly revise the three strikes law, resulting in shorter sentences for many non-violent, non-serious offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2012/36_11_2012.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">California Legislative Analyst's Office\u003c/a> estimates that if Prop 36 passes, it will save California roughly $70 to $90 million annually.
