Electoral Map Builder

Assign each state and build your own path to 270 electoral votes.

There are 538 electoral votes in the U.S. Electoral College, and a presidential candidate needs a majority — 270 — to win. Use the map below to assign every state and see who would reach 270 under your scenario.

How it works

  • Every state and D.C. starts unassigned.
  • Click a state to cycle it through Democratic → Republican → Toss-up → unassigned.
  • The tally bar updates as you go; the first side to reach 270 wins.
  • Use "Start from 2024 results" or "Start from 2020 results" to load a real map, or "Reset" to clear it.
  • "Copy link" saves your map into the page URL so you can share or bookmark it.

Total: 538 electoral votes; 270 to win. This builder treats Maine and Nebraska as winner-take-all for simplicity; in reality they can split their electoral votes by congressional district.
