Contained within the book, buried among routine interviews, was the name of a witness â tracking down that witness led detectives straight to Alanâs killers. Where murder is concerned, thereâs no such thing as too much information.
The House is comprised of 233 Republicans and 199 Democrats, with a simple majority â 217 votes â required to impeach. Before the articles of impeachment go to the full House, though, they would have to pass through the House Judiciary Committee, where Republicans hold a 23 to 18 advantage.
Question: How many total electoral votes are there? Answer: The number of electoral votes is derived by adding the number of Senators (100) plus the number of members in the House of Representatives (435) plus three (3) additional votes for the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia was awarded three electoral votes with the passage of the 23rd amendment in 1961. This adds up to 538 total votes. To win the presidency, a candidate needs to get more than 50% of the electoral votes. Half of 538 is 269. Therefore, 270 votes are needed to win. The total number of total electoral votes does not vary from year to year because the number of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate does not change.
