Yes, what counts is the electoral votes of each state. So it depends on how many states they win or on how big of electoral votes in each state

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The tally of those votes (the popular vote) does not determine the winner. Instead, presidential elections use the Electoral College. To win the election, a candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes.
