11 Electoral College The presidential election is actually decided indirectly through the electoral college. Every state has a certain number of electoral votes based on the size of its population Electoral Votes =# of members sent to the House of Representatives + # of Senators (2) Typically, all electoral votes from each state, (except Maine and Nebraska- which split their votes based on %), go to the candidates who get the most popular votes-even if those candidates win by only a few votes or lack a clear majority votes.
12 Electing the U.S President is not about winning the popular vote it is winning in enough states to achieve 270 electoral votes, a majority of the 538 that are available Example: in the 2000 election, the electoral vote winner (Bush) and the popular vote winner (Gore) were different (Bush narrowly won the presidential election, with 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266 with one elector abstaining in the official tally). Nominee George W. Bush Al Gore Party Republican Democratic Electoral vote States carried DC Popular vote 50,456,002 50,999,897 Percentage 47.9% 48.4%
13 John Quincy Adams was elected president despite not winning either the popular vote or the electoral vote. Andrew Jackson was the winner in both categories. Jackson received 38,000 more popular votes than Adams, and beat him in the electoral vote 99 to 84. Neither candidate won the required majority of 131 electoral votes to be declared president. The decision went to the House of Representatives, which voted Adams into the White House Rutherford B. Hayes won the election by a margin of one electoral vote, but he lost the popular vote by more than 250,000 ballots to Samuel J. Tilden Benjamin Harrison received 233 electoral votes to Grover Cleveland s 168, winning the presidency. But Harrison lost the popular vote by more than 90,000 votes George W. Bush became the 43 rd President when he won the electoral vote 271 to 266, but he didn t win the popular vote. Al Gore had about 540,000 more popular votes than Bush.
