According to the constitution, how does the us directly determine the number of electoral votes received by each state?
a. by combining the number of senators and representatives for each state
b. by ranking each state's tax income
c. by recording voter turnout in each state
d. by determining the number of registered voters in each state.

The correct answer is A) by combining the number of Senators and Representatives for each state.

According to the Constitution, the US directly determine the number of electoral votes received by each state by combining the number of Senators and Representatives for each state.

The process called "Electoral College" select electors to count the votes in a presidential election and the counting of the votes by the US Congress. 538 electors comprise the Electoral College. The electors by each state equal the number of members in its Congressional delegation. This means that is one for each member of the House of Representatives and two for the number of Senators each state has. To win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
