In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors, based on each state's total number of representation in Congress. Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes. The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election. The president-elect and vice president-elect take the oath of office and are inaugurated in January. Download or order a poster.
But that's not even the crazy part. You see, the House does not choose the vice president. That decision goes to the Senate, which decides it by a simple vote. The Senate isâand is expected to remainâDemocratic. As a result, if there is a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College, the next president could be Mitt Romney. And the vice president would be Joe Biden. Wouldn't that be fun! Maybe it's time for a constitutional amendment to rethink some of this.
