State Electoral Votes in 2012
The size of each state reflects the number of electoral votes that state has,
following the changes required by the 2010 census. The colors show which
party the state voted for in the 2008 presidential elections, red for
Republican, blue for Democratic. A candidate must win 270
electoral votes to be elected president.Electoral Votes Gained and Lost after the 2010 Census
