Hey Guys,

With Presidential elections you need the set amount of electoral votes. How would you work these out if you took away a group of states? For example IOTL the 1816 PE had a 109 limit needed to win, but in my TL I've taken away the New English states and also America doesn't own Louisiana (thus no state of New Orleans). How would I work out what the electoral vote needed is now? Would I just take away the amount of electors from these states from the amount of electors votes that are minimum to win?

This would be 109-54=55. Or is not how you'd do it?
