Ballot Box Breakdown: What is the Electoral College?
SUMMARY: The U.S. presidential election is determined by the Electoral College, as established in Article 2 of the Constitution, not by the national popular vote. There are 538 electors, with a candidate needing 270 to win. Each state‘s electors correspond to its Congressional delegation size; for example, Louisiana has eight electors. Political parties nominate slates of electors, who usually support their candidate. On Election Day, votes determine both the presidential candidate and the electors. Most states award all electoral votes to the popular vote winner. Official voting by electors occurs in mid-December, followed by reporting to Congress.
In your Ballot Box Breakdown: a basic refresher on the electoral college, as we inch closer to election day.

Thursday 5PM Tropical Weather: 2 spots in Caribbean linger with low development chances
SUMMARY: Currently, there are two disturbances in the tropics: Invest 94, which has low development chances, and Invest 95, both expected to follow a general westerly track without threatening the Gulf. This suggests that the tropical season is likely coming to a close as we approach November, a period historically known for few threats. Weather-wise, morning temperatures are in the 40s and 50s, with a pleasant high of 73 expected by the end of the weekend, before returning to the low 80s early next week.
