Why the numbers change
Civics Arcade
Run a presidential campaign for eight weeks. Spend candidate visits, ad money and volunteers to move the polls in the states you need while a computer-run campaign does the same. On election night, win at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes.
Every new game randomly decides how each state leans toward two made-up parties, with about 10 to 12 toss-ups. These leans are invented and say nothing about how real states vote. The electoral vote counts are real: the ones used for the 2024 and 2028 elections.
