A little bauble I found at โBlue Plumbโ in

About the Size of a Silver Dollar
๐บ๐ธ There are currently 538 electors, and an absolute majority of electoral votesโ270 or moreโis required for it to elect the president and vice president.
The electors meet and vote in December and the president is inaugurated in January.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 provides that each state shall appoint electors selected in a manner determined by its legislature, and it disqualifies any person holding a federal office, either elected or appointed, from being an elector. โ๏ธ
The current Electoral College system allows a candidate to win the Presidency while losing the popular vote, an outcome seen as counter to the one person, one vote principle of democracy.

I have voted in 12 ๐บ๐ธ presidential elections. I un-registered for the last two. โ๏ธ

One person, one vote ๐๐๐ฝ โ
The electors of each state meet in their respective state capital on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December to cast their votesโ๏ธ
Beautiful! Love the design.
