If she wins all of these states, she will need an additional 97 electoral votes from remaining states. This is possible but will depend on outcomes in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which still have many undecided votes.Read More: Each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia is assigned a specific number of “electors”, adding up to 538.
