Like most states, New Jersey uses the Winner-Take-All Method for appointing electors. All of New Jersey's electors are appointed based on which ticket receives the most popular votes statewide. For example, in 2012, 2,125,101 New Jersey voters voted for the Obama/Biden ticket, 1,477,568 voted for the Romney/Ryan ticket, and 45,594 voted for another ticket; therefore Barack Obama and Joe Biden received all 14 of New Jersey's electoral votes.
