选举人就是代表该州投票选举总统的一群人。他们是由政党选派的一群受过教育的公民。根据每一州的人口数比例,各州推派的选举人数目都不相同。举例来说,加州有54张选举人票,而新墨西哥州只有5张。各州的选举人通常根据该州选民的意志而投票。然而,以前只有白人男性公民拥有投票权。

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.
