Electoral College

The Electoral College consists of the popularly elected representatives (electors) who formally elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Since 1964, there have been 538 electors in each presidential election.^[1] Article II, Section 1, Clause 2
of the Constitution specifies how many electors each state is entitled
to have and that each state's legislature decides how its electors are
to be chosen. U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College. The Electoral College is an example of an indirect election.
The election for President and Vice President is not a direct election by United States citizens.
Citizens vote for electors, representing a state, who are the
authorized constitutional participants in a presidential election. In
early U.S. history, some state laws delegated the choice of electors to
the state legislature. Electors are free to vote for anyone eligible to
be President, but in practice pledge to vote for specific candidates and
voters cast ballots for favored presidential and vice presidential
candidates by voting for correspondingly pledged electors.
