What do the US elections look like?
There are approximately 244 million voters eligible to vote in the United States. They do not vote directlyand through the electors. They are the ones who ultimately appoint the president. There are a total of 538 electoral votes in the pool. To become president, you need to have at least 270 of them on your side. Each state has a specific number of electors, the largest – California – currently as many as 54, then Texas – 40. Some of them are usually assigned to one of the candidates before the elections – e.g. in California, for 32 years, a Democrat has always won the presidential elections . In these elections, seven so-called swing states where it is not certain how their voters will vote and they will decide the outcome of the vote. They are: Arizona (11 electoral votes), Georgia (16), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), North Carolina (16) and Pennsylvania (19).
