In Texas, when you vote for president, your vote helps decide the allocation of the state's electoral votes in the Electoral College. Texas has a significant number of electoral votes, reflecting its population size, and these votes are awarded to the candidate who receives the majority of the popular vote in the state. This process ultimately contributes to determining the overall winner of the presidential election at the national level. Additionally, your vote can influence local and state races, as well as shape party dynamics within Texas.

The reason why people vote for the president even though it is based on an electoral college is because if you are voting for a slate of people which vote for the president, it is still important! It is even more important if you are in a battleground state because then your vote could help decide the election! (example: Albert Gore Jr. vs. George W. Bush; 300 votes in Florida could have changed the outcome of the election!)
