How does the number of Electoral College votes a presidential candidate has compare to the number of popular votes a presidential candidate has?

Sometimes the Electoral College votes do not reflect the popular vote. It's the number of Electoral College votes that determines who is elected president.
The Electoral College votes are calculated using the popular vote. So the candidate who is elected president will have the most votes in both categories.
The president is elected based on the popular vote, or number of people who voted. The Electoral College votes only matter if there is a tie between candidates.
The popular vote determines who will be president. The Electoral College votes determine whether the Democratic or Republican party will have the most influence in government.

Sometimes the Electoral College votes do not reflect the popular vote. It is the number of Electoral College votes that determine who is elected president and not the percentage victory int he popular vote that determines victory.

The correct answer is A) sometimes the Electoral College votes do not reflect the popular vote. It's the number of Electoral College votes that determines who is elected president.

The number of Electoral College votes a presidential candidate has is compared to the number of popular votes a presidential candidate has in that "sometimes the Electoral College votes do not reflect the popular vote. It's the number of Electoral College votes that determines who is elected president."

First, remember that the electoral college is not a place or an institution but a process that is formed every four years in each presidential election. The Electoral College is formed by 538 electors. It is needed a majority of 270 electoral votes to have a winner in the presidential election. So one candidate can win in the popular vote, as happened to Hillary Clinton in the US presidential elections of 2016, but lose in the Electoral College.
