How does the U.S. determined who has won the presidential election?
The above answer needs to be amended slightly. Each State's number of Electoral Votes is equal to the number of US Senators & US Representatives in the US Congress. Each State has just two US Senators and at least one US Representative. The number of US Representatives nationwide is distributed based on population (total 435), however each state has two senators regardless of population (total 100). Additionally, Washington DC has three electoral votes. As a result, Washington, DC and those states with the smallest populations have more Electoral Votes than if the Electoral Votes were distributed solely by population.

The number of US representatives is exactly the number of electoral votes minus two. (The number of electoral votes for a state is the defined to be the size of its delegation to Congress, including its two senators. )
How many electrol votes do US have?
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.

On the 2nd Wednesday of December, the Electoral College meets and the candidate with the most electoral votes is declared the winner.

How is the electoral college used to elect the president of the US?
In a US Presidential election, the voters in each state cast votes for electors, who are political party representatives for their state. These electors meet after the election and cast ballots that determine the winner of the election. To win election, a candidate must win more than half of the total of all electoral votes (as of 2014, 270 out of 538). If no candidate wins enough electoral votes, the US House of Representatives elects the President (this has only occurred once, in 1824) and the Senate elects the Vice President. In most cases, all of the electoral votes for a particular state go to the candidate who received the most votes in that state, even if only by a small margin. (Maine and Nebraska have modified this.)
