A candidate needs 270 to win.\n- Each state's electors = its House seats + its 2 Senate seats.\n- The District of Columbia gets 3 electors (23rd Amendment). I wrote \"DC gets 0.\" Prof. Ames: \"Wrong. DC gets 3.\"\n- In 48 states, the winner of the state's popular vote gets all its electors (winner-take-all). Maine and Nebraska split theirs by district.\n- A candidate can win the presidency while losing the national popular vote (happened in 2000 and 2016).\n- Faithless electors: electors who vote differently than the state's result; many states penalize them.\n\nExam: 3 short-answer questions, 15 minutes.
