text: Every candidate running has his/her own group of electors. Most states have as its called "winner-take-all" system. Which basically, gives all the electors the opportunity to the winning presidential candidate. When the president is elected, the governor sets up a "Certificate of Ascertainment". Which concludes a list of names of all the candidates who ran for President. The certificate is then sent to Congress and the National Archives as apart of the presidential election and history.
