Yes, the winning candidate gets all of the electoral votes. So that means the votes of the voters who voted for the loser are worthless; and how a candidate can win the popular [of the people] election and still not get into the white house; and why all votes on the west coast [ including Alaska and Hawaii] do not count. { because one party almost always has >50% at the middle of the country.}
Maybe we should save some time and money, and just go by what the pollsters say. They are right over 90% of the time.
