For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.As THECORBYLOON said, the correct answer is 270 (i.e. an absolute majority of the 538 seats). The question referred to "electoral" votes, not just willy-nilly votes. Therefore any references to the French or other presidential elections are irrelevant and cretaciously booliakterous. If a candidate does not get 270, then the Senate has to decide.
