These Are The Most Educated States And Neighborhoods In America. One out of every two people living in Washington, D.C. has a college degree, a rate far surpassing any state in the country. Of course, it can be a little unfair to compare one city that is the center of government power with far larger states. Among the states, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts takes the top slot as most educated, which may come as little surprise too, considering how many great colleges are located in the Boston area.
The Electoral College is not a âcollegeâ at all but âelectorsâ chosen from each state. The Electoral College process is used to select the president and vice president of the United States. How the Electoral College Works The people in each state vote for the president.The results in a state determine which electors are selected for that state.or example, the most populous state, California, has 55 electors. The least populous statesâAlaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyomingâhave three electors each. The map below shows how many electoral votes each state has.
