Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution established the Electoral College to elect the President. It provided that each state would choose electors according to a method set up by the state legislature. Each state received the number of electors that equalled the two Senators plus the number of Representatives in the House of Representatives that the state has. Today, when you vote, you are voting for electors pledged to vote for the candidate of your party. Some states list the name of the electors but most simply list the name of the candidates. So, if you vote for the Republican candidate for President in the general election in November, you are actually voting for the electors selected by the State's Republican Party who are pledged to vote for the Republican candidate if he wins a majority of the popular vote in your state. There are a total of 538 electors that make up the Electoral College. The winning candidate must get 270 of the votes. They formally meet and vote on the Monday following the second Wednesday in December. The votes are taken to the Senate where, on January 6, both houses meet together and the President of the Senate (the current Vice President) counts the votes and officially declares the winner.
