Answer 1

Answer:

B. There are a total of 538 electoral votes

Explanation:

In order to win the election, a candidate have to win more than 270 votes from that 538 votes.

I'll give you a reason why other options are wrong:

- . If no one wins a majority of the votes, The winner is decided through a recount. Supreme court has no role in this.

- The territory of Puerto Rico has 0 electoral votes,  not 3.

- The number of states' electoral votes is influenced by the amount of people that each state has in house of representatives.
