text: The Electoral College is made up of 538 electors, so that means you need at least 270 electoral votes to win the Presidency. However, there is a very small chance that a tie will occur. In source two the author states that if there was a tie in the electoral votes, the election of the President would turn to the House of Representatives, and the Senate would vote for the vice-president. Each delegate would get one vote, so the state of Rhode Island would have just as much say as the state of Florida.
