Weights of the Fifty States in the Electoral College System

Below is an arrangement of bars showcasing each state of America based on their total Electoral Vote weight in a given presidential election. The states are listed as most valuable to least in terms of the Electoral Vote with California, Texas, and New York leading the way. Bars are color-coded based on party leaning with Democrat-leaning states in Blue, Republican-leaning states as Red, and swing states/battleground states/split vote states (Maine, Nebraska) in striped Blue-Red.

There are a total of 50 states plus the District of Columbia (D.C.) resulting in 538 total Electoral Votes with 270 needed to win the election. State bars are clickable to historical details.
