Understanding the Electoral College and Arizona’s significance in 2020

Out of 538 electors, Arizona will cast 11 votes in the college.
by Kassandra Lau

Winning the White House requires at least 270 votes in the Electoral College. Out of 538 electors from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., Arizona will cast 11 of those votes. Both campaigns have courted Arizona voters with multiple stops and events in the state. We discussed Arizona’s significance in the Electoral College with Barbara Norrander, a political scientist at the University of Arizona School of Government and Public Policy.
