What is the Electoral College?
什么是选举人团?
The Electoral College is a group of people appointed by each party.
选举人团是各政党选出的一群人。
The total number of electors is equal to the number of members in Congress: 538.
选举人团代表的总人数和国会议员人数相等:都是538人。
Each state gets electors based on its population. So, Wyoming has 3; New York has 29.
每个州的选举人团代表人数基于该州的人口决定。比如怀俄明州有3名代表,纽约州的代表有29名。
So, if Candidate A wins the most votes in, say, New York, (s)he gets all 29 electoral votes.
如果候选人A赢得了纽约州选举人团的大多数投票,他/她就赢了29张选举人团票数。
The goal is to get to 270, which is just over half of 538.
最终赢得270张选举人团票数者获胜,即538张票的半数。
