Please give the names of the States
which DO not divide their electoral votes,
w. G. Seby.
Michigan IS the only State that divides
its electoral vote, in that state by act of
Legislature each congressional district
votes separately for an eiector. IN other
States where 4 division occurs, it is from
some cause that is easily explained. For
instance. In 1892 four States besides Mich
igan divided their electoral votes: Cali
fornia and Ohio, because the vote for
Cleveland and Harrison electors was SO
close. Oregon because one of the four can
didates for electors on the populist ticket
was also on the democratic ticket. the re-
suit being three republicans and one pop
ulist elected; North Dakota, because one
of the two popu,ist electors who were
elected cast MS vote tor cleveland.
