- ↑ The number of electors is equal to the total voting membership of the United States Congress (composed of 435 Representatives and 100 Senators) plus three electors from the District of Columbia. See Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution and the Twenty-third Amendment
- ↑ Electors are not required by federal law to honor a pledge; however, in the overwhelming majority of cases they do vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged. Many states have laws designed to ensure that electors vote for pledged candidates, though the constitutionality of these laws has never been positively established. See The Green Papers
- ↑ This process has been normalized to the point that the names of the electors appear on the ballot only in a handful of states. See The Green Papers
