Please review the following chart which contains the Electoral
College votes assigned to each state and the District of
Columbia, and the popular vote results for each state and the

election. Based on information contained in the chart
determine the following:
The total popular vote won by Candidate A and Candidate B in
the election
Which presidential candidate, A or B, won the Electoral College
vote for each state and the District of Columbia, and how many
total Electoral College votes did Candidate A and Candidate B
receive?. Assume for this simulation that all 50 states and the
District of Columbia award their Electoral College votes on a
“winner-take-all” basis.
