EVERY VOTE COUNTS
We have received a number of questions lately about why AFSA is stressing, "Every Vote Counts ." Why? The answer is: The Electoral College.
The Electoral College is a process, not an institution of higher learning. The founding fathers established this process in the Constitution as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and the election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your state’s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.
