The presidential candidate with the most votes wins all the electoral votes of the state (in 48 states). The result is that winning a few large population states, even by a tiny margin, can guarantee election to the presidency.
*Maine and Nebraska give one vote to the winner of each of their congressional districts, and the remaining 2 to the overall winner of the state, making them the only non-winner take all states.
