How does the number of Electoral College votes a presidential candidate has compare to the number of popular votes a presidential candidate has? A: Sometimes the Electoral College votes do not reflect the popular vote. It's the number of Electoral College votes that determines who is elected president B: The Electoral Collage votes are calculated using teh popular vote. So the candidate who is elected president will have the most votes in both categories C: The president is elected based on the popular vote, or number of people who voted. The Electoral College votes determine whether the Democratic or Republican party will have the most influence in government. D: The popular vote determines who will be president. The Electoral College votes determine whether the Democratic or Republican party will have the most influence in government (My guess is B)

@jabez177 , Mind helping me out?

I believe it's A. The electoral college is a system in which candidates are given a certain number of points based on their success in a given state. Say candidate A wins 100% of the popular vote in states where votes can be split up, while candidate B wins 51% of the popular vote in "winner-take-all" states. If the delegates in the WTA states outnumber the delegates in the proportional states, you can have a president elected through the electoral college that did not win the nation's popular vote.
