  • Method of awarding electoral votes
    Publication number: 20040249702
    Abstract: A method of awarding electoral votes to candidates based on their respective shares of the popular vote received. After an election is held, the total number of votes cast for each candidate is tabulated. Each candidate's percentage of the popular vote is then determined. This percentage is then used to determine each candidate's share of electoral votes in the jurisdiction in question. That is, if a candidate receives 42% of the popular vote, then the candidate will be awarded 42% of the state's electoral votes. Consequently, each person's vote will have added significance, as it will directly contribute towards their candidate's share of electoral votes.
