NEW YORK (PIX11) — The race for the White House is nearly decided.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are battling to win the 2024 presidential election. They need 270 electoral votes to win.
There are 538 electoral votes distributed throughout the 50 states. California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois have the most electoral votes due to their population size.
“Electoral votes are allocated among the States based on the Census. Every State is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of Senators and Representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its Senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts,” the National Archive states. “Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated three electors and treated like a State for purposes of the Electoral College.”
