D	vote-or-die

However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of “proportional representation.” Read more about the allocation of electors among the States.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each State legislature determines how the electors are allocated to candidates. As of the last election, the District of Columbia and 48 States had a winner-takes-all rule for the Electoral College.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voters in each state choose electors by casting a vote for the presidential candidate of their choice. The slate winning the most popular votes is the winner.
