As of now, 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia use a winner-takes-all system for allocating their electoral votes in presidential elections. The exceptions are Maine and Nebraska, which utilize a proportional allocation method. In the winner-takes-all system, the candidate receiving the most votes in a state secures all of that state's electoral votes.

The "winner-take-all" system typically refers to the electoral process used in many U.S. states for the allocation of electoral votes in presidential elections. In this system, the candidate who receives the most votes in a state wins all of that state's electoral votes, rather than distributing them proportionally. This approach can lead to situations where a candidate wins the presidency without securing a majority of the popular vote nationwide. The system is criticized for potentially marginalizing third-party candidates and reinforcing a two-party system.

It's a "winner-take-all" system, so the margin of victory doesn't matter. The winner receives all of the state's electoral votes.
