This map shows the amount of electors per state as of 2012. This amount changes every ten years in accordance to population, which is minimal, but heavily crowded states can gain or uphold many electoral votes.

6. How could this document help support or abolish keeping the Electoral College? Though the method for picking candidates to vote can be questionable, it is still better than asking common people on what the best political policies are, seeing as how people are not very educated or can be easily swindled, like Proposition 13 being used to raise taxes as old people believe this is the same proposition 13 that helps with their fixed income.

California with 55 votes, and Texas with 38 votes.

4.Draw a line across the center of your map horizontally. Draw another line across the center of your map vertically. You have created four large regions of the United States. Could a candidate win if he/she had no support in any one of these regions?
Yes, a candidate needs 270 votes out of 538(which is around 51%) in order to win. Only missing one region but having support from the other three would guarantee a win as that is more than 51% of the votes.
5. What is the smallest number of states a candidate could win and win the Electoral College?
Eleven states at least are required to win: California, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
