Quick summary: How the president is elected in the USA and what you should watch tonight
Each state is worth a number of points known as “electoral college votes” based on the state’s population.
California, the most populous American state, has 54 votes in the electoral college, representing its population of 39 million inhabitants.
In almost every state, if you win by even a 0.1% margin, you get all the electoral college votes.
There are 538 “points” in total. To become president, a candidate must reach 270.
Most of the states are predictable, so it could boil down to seven states that could go either way: Pennsylvania (19 electoral votes), Georgia (16), North Carolina (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11 ), Wisconsin (10) and Nevada (6)
