How does my vote count if electoral votes decide who becomes President?
Your vote counts in determining who the electors in your State vote for. You cast a vote for electors pledged to the election of a particular person. The Governor of your state will issue certificates of ascertainment to electors that are pledged to the election of the person that the people indicated a preference for in the general election. Of course, only 24 states have laws which require those electors to vote for the person the people preferred.
