The Electoral College
No, it would be false to say that small states are proportionally underrepresented in the electoral college. To become president, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes.
The winning candidate has to have a simple majority of votes from the electoral college. In other words, the candidate will only need to win by ONE electoral vote to become the president. He must receive a simple majority of the 535 votes in the electoral college.
None. He is seeking delegates to the Republican National Convention in an attempt to become the Republican nominee for President--not electors to the Electoral College which he will need to actually become President.
To be declared the winner, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral college votes.
False!!!!Per the US Constitution, the Electoral College actually is the body that elects the President. There have been some elections in the past where the popular vote was won by a candidate, but the Electoral College elected another candidate.
false
If a majority voted for someone else, that person would become the president. If no one received a majority of the electoral vote, the House of Representatives would elect the president.
