The Electoral College is a group of people who are chosen by each state’s political parties and are the ones who cast the votes for the president after we cast our ballots on Nov. 5. A state’s number of electors is equal to its two Senate seats and the number of seats it has in the House of Representatives. For example, Virginia, where Rodgers lives, has 11 seats in the House of Representatives. So, with its two Senate seats, it has 13 Electoral College votes.The post How the Electoral College’s Racist Roots Manifest Today appeared first on Capital B News.
