US ELECTORAL COLLEGE - How it Works
The article below explains the importance of STATES' roles in the endorsement of the president. E.g. If Democrats control the state - then more Democrats travel to Washington to cast a vote. California will send 55 Democrats.( representation by population determines how many votes in each state.)
