Update, Dec. 23: There now have been five times in which a president was elected who didnât win the popular vote. Trump won the electoral vote 304 to 227, but Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes. We have updated our 2008 item on the popular vote accordingly.
The Winner-Take-All System. In 48 states and the District of Columbia, all electoral votes are awarded to the slate that receives the most popular votes in the state. When a candidate for president wins a state's popular vote, that party's slate of electors is elected. For example, Florida has 29 electoral votes. If Mitt Romney wins the popular vote on November 6, the 29 electors nominated by the Republican party in Florida will be selected.
