選舉人就是代表該州投票選舉總統的一群人。他們是由政黨選派的一群受過教育的公民。根據每一州的人口數比例,各州推派的選舉人數目都不相同。舉例來說,加州有54張選舉人票,而新墨西哥州只有5張。各州的選舉人通常根據該州選民的意志而投票。然而,以前只有白人男性公民擁有投票權。

Electors are people who represent their state and vote for a president. They are informed citizens chosen by the political parties. Every state has a different number of electors, depending on the size of its population. For example, California has 54 electoral votes while New Mexico has only five. A state's electors usually vote the same way as the state's citizens. However, only white male citizens could vote for many decades.
