What is the minimum number of electoral votes needed to win the presidency and why?
270 electoral votes in the Electoral College are needed to win the U.S. presidency. Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.

What percentage makes a majority vote?
A simple majority, more accurately called a plurality, can be any percentage as long as it is the highest percentage of votes. An absolute majority is usually any number of votes that is more than 50% of all votes cast, but there are variations. For example, the US Constitution specifies that to win a presidential election, one needs not just a majority of the votes cast; the winner needs the votes of a majority of the appointed electors. So if all 538 electors are appointed but only 270 of them vote, 100% of the 270 votes are needed to win.
