The next Electoral College will
contain 532 votes. This makes AZ
votes more than the number cast for
President and Vice President in
1908, which was 4S3. The admis-
sion of Arizona to statehood added
and of New Mexico 4 to the total
number of electoral votes, which
were further increased by the allot-
ment of Representatives based on the
last census. 1t will require 267
electoral votes to elect a President
this year.
