electoral college

electoral college

      The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and 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. Read more about the allocation of electoral votes.
       Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purposes of the Electoral College. For this reason, in the following discussion, the word “state” also refers to the District of Columbia. 
Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Read more about the qualifications of the Electors and restrictions on who the Electors may vote for.

"This planet is an exquisitely arranged and interconnected system.  What's controlled in one place is going to have consequences in another place.  Our job as gardeners is to try and figure this out no matter how small our allotted space might be.   Discipline has to be the watchword for our controlling hands.  It means not gardening without thinking of the garden as a habitat: for mice, for squirrels, for bees and wasps.  For other living creatures beyond ourselves."
(Marjorie Harris)
