The Electoral College is the process by which the states and District of Columbia elect the president of the United States. Each state is represented by a number of electors equal to the size of its congressional delegation. There are 538 electors in total. To win the Electoral College, a candidate must receive a majority—at least 270—electoral votes.[1]

The Electoral College met on December 17, 2024, to cast their votes for president and vice president of the United States. The final tally was 312 votes for former President Donald Trump (R) and U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R) and 226 votes for Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and Gov. Tim Walz (D).

Although there is no constitutional provision or federal law requiring electors to vote in accordance with the election results in their state, electors typically vote for their state's popular vote winner. Some states have provisions permitting the disqualification and replacement of an elector whose vote deviates from the state's popular vote. There were no faithless electors in 2024.[2][3]

Thirteen states gained or lost electoral votes following the 2020 Census:[4]

  • Texas gained two votes.
  • Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon each gained one.
  • California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia each lost one.

Letter calling for change to Nebraska's electoral vote allocation method (2024)

See also: Electoral College

Heading into the 2024 presidential election, several noteworthy officeholders expressed support for changing Nebraska's method of electoral vote allocation to a winner-take-all system. In 2024, Nebraska allocated two of its electoral votes based on the statewide presidential election results, and the other three based on election results in each congressional district. Nebraska was one of two states, along with Maine, that did not allocate its electoral votes with a winner-take-all system.

On September 18, 2024, U.S. Sens. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), and U.S. Reps. Mike Flood (R-Neb.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), and Adrian Smith (R-Neb.) signed a letter calling on Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen (R) and Nebraska State Senate Speaker John Arch (R) to change Nebraska's electoral vote allocation system to winner-take-all. The letter said, "Senators and Governors are elected by the state as a whole because they represent all of the people of Nebraska equally, and the state should speak with a united voice in presidential elections as well."[60] Both Gov. Pillen and Senate Speaker Arch had previously expressed support for such legislation.[61] As of September 20, 2024, Pillen had not called the legislature into a special session to address the proposal.

On September 23, 2024, Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell (R), whose support was needed to pass the bill, announced he would not support it. In a statement, McDonnell said, "I have taken time to listen carefully to Nebraskans and national leaders on both sides of the issue. After deep consideration, it is clear to me that right now, 43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change."[62]

The Nebraska State Legislature proposed a bill that sought to change the state's method of allocating electoral votes to a winner-take-all system earlier in the year. The bill did not pass in the state legislature during the 2024 regular session, failing to clear a procedural vote in April 2024. Eight legislators voted in favor of introducing the legislation.[61]
