The District of
Columbia and 48 U.S. states (all except Maine and Nebraska) utilize
a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College. In a
winner-take-all state, all of the state's Electoral votes go to
whichever candidate receives a majority of the popular vote, or a
plurality of the popular vote (less than 50 percent but more than
any other candidate). Maine and Nebraska use the "congressional
district method", selecting one elector within each congressional
district by popular vote and awarding two electors by a statewide
popular vote.
