Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Electoral College is a winner-take-all system in which the candidate who receives the majority of the votes in a state receives all of that state's electoral votes. The candidate who wins a majority (270 or more) of the electoral votes wins the presidency. This system often results in the winner receiving all of the electoral votes of a state, even if they only won by a slim margin, giving them an advantage in the overall election.
