In recent elections, there have been a dozen or more truly competitive battlegrounds which could result in many various paths to 270 electoral votes. If the election results in a 269 to 269 electoral vote tie, then the House of Representatives convenes to choose the president with each state delegation getting one vote. However, there is actually one way to win the presidency without getting 270 electoral votes. That’s led to many efforts to reform the Electoral College over the years. Winning the national popular vote doesn’t matter, as we saw most recently in the 20 presidential elections where the winner of the popular vote actually lost the election. The winner of the presidential election must win the majority of the electoral votes - that is at least 270 out of the 538 available.īecause most states allocate their electoral votes on an “winner-take-all” basis - the exceptions being Maine and Nebraska, which split their electoral votes by congressional district - the candidate who wins enough states to reach 270 electoral votes becomes president.
