    The Electoral College is the system that decides who will be president and vice-president in the United States. In this system, each state has electors who officially cast the states vote for president and vice-president. The number of electors is the total number of people in Congress. This means that each state has electoral votes equal to their representation in Congress. Essentially, states with larger populations have more power in the election.

    In our current society, a presidential candidate needs a majority of the electoral votes (aka more than 270). Since the president is picked on this system, you will find that candidates spend more times in states with larger electoral vote counts.
