Decoding the Electoral College: Why 270 Matters

In the U.S. presidential election, candidates vie for 538 electoral votes. Each state is allocated electors based on its congressional representation. To win, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes. Most states award all their electoral votes to the popular vote winner, except for Maine and Nebraska.
