That is not near enough time to spell out states especially when alot of states have long names.

You only need 11 states. It's a rush, but it's doable.

This is more a challenge of one's typing skills, not knowledge of the number of electors from each state.

I got 368 on the featured version which is 5 seconds longer. 368/4=92. 368-92=276! I would've won if I had taken the quiz!

This took a lot of attempts and I'm interested to see how people managed it. You have to consider how long it takes to type things out as well as just the electoral votes. I did it with CA, TX, NY, FL, OH, PA, IL, MI, GA, VA, NJ and DC. Typing Virginia and DC gets you over the line with the same amount of electoral votes as you'd get with North Carolina (271), but with less characters.

It would be interesting to see if there are any more time savers

Because you can type "masachusets", although it's a good q if including it is best for a high score
