Question 51 • GA-GSE Government

According to the Constitution, how does the US directly determine the number of electoral votes received by each state?

Answer
A
by combining the number of senators and representatives for each state
B
by ranking each state’s tax income
C
by recording voter turnout in each sate
D
by determining the number of registered voters in each state

Explanation

A state's electoral votes equal the total number of its members in Congress: its two senators plus its number of representatives. So the correct choice is “by combining the number of senators and representatives for each state.” Tax income, voter turnout, and registered voters do not determine electoral votes.
