How many electors are allowed in each state in the presidential election process?
Votes in the Electoral College are proportional to the states' populations.
What are the advantges of the electoral college?
The electoral college simplifies the election map for presidential candidates. The candidates need only look at the electoral value of each state instead of the states' actual populations. With the laws in most states a candidate does not have to win overwhelmingly in the state's population to get all of that state's votes, but only a majority. This means that states where the candidate polls well ahead or hopelessly behind can be ignored scene those electoral votes are secured and impossible to get. This means that the candidates can concentrate most of their money and campaigning in what are known as battleground states. These states are states where candidates are polling about even and can those swing the election by campaigning there. Of the 50 states (plus DC) there are only about 18 battleground states, and of those states only 4 of them get more than 50% of the candidates attention and money. So the advantage is that presidential candidates only have to concentrate their effort in a few key states and can ignore most of the rest of the country.
Why do presidential candidates spend more time in states with large population?
Presidential candidates spend more time in states with larger populations because these states have more delegates. If they win these states, they will make it harder for the other candidate to win the election.
Why do presidential campaigns focus heavily on swing voters and battle ground states?
Because with the exception of a very few presidential elections (Roosevelt versus Landon, Johnson versus Goldwater), most Presidential elections find Americans voting pretty close to 50/50. Extra votes that can be picked up by effective campaigning for swing voters and battleground (meaning virtually tied) states can make the difference.
Why would a presidential candidate spend more time campaigning in states like California Texas or New York?
Presidential candidates may spend more time campaigning in states like California, Texas, or New York because they have large populations and a significant number of electoral votes. Winning these states can heavily impact the outcome of the election. Additionally, these states have diverse demographics and may offer a broad platform for candidates to communicate their message to a wide audience.
