Keep your head high. You may be loosing or winning by popular vote but this isn't the end. The electoral vote could be the opposite of the popular vote meaning how you think you are doing in the election so far could flip on you. Remember the election in 2000...
STEP 4: ELECTORAL COLLEGE
The votes are caste and its time for the electors to decide. Depending on how much each state is represented in congress, the state will be given a certain numbers of electors they may have. The state may gain or lose electors depending on the change of their representation in congress. The electors for each state will look at the number of ballots for each candidate, and depending on that number, each elector will give there electoral vote for who they want as the president.
The count
In all there are 538 electoral votes. Each state has caste in their votes and you must get at least half or approximately 270 electoral votes to win the election.
Quick Advice
Keep calm. The wait for the votes can be long and you don't want to look like a fool freaking out. Represent yourself proudly and calmly to decrease the risk of you doing something that risks you of losing votes.
