Each state is granted a certain quantity of votes in the Electoral College, depending on the extent of its population. The candidate who meets the outset of 270 constituent votes wins the presidency. In almost every state, a contestant who wins 50% of the general vote is granted 100 percent of its constituent votes.

And this was before general suffrage was registered.
