hen U.S. citizens go to the polls to "elect" a president, they are in fact voting for a particular slate of electors. In every state but Maine and Nebraska, the candidate who wins the most votes (that is, a plurality) in the state receives all of the state’s electoral votes. The number of electors in each state is the sum of its U.S. senators and its U.S. representatives. (The District of Columbia has three electoral votes, which is the number of senators and representatives it would have if it were permitted representation in Congress.) The electors meet in their respective states 41 days after the popular election. There, they cast a ballot for president and a second for vice president. A candidate must receive a majority of electoral votes to be elected president.

Explanation:

The human skeleton muscles are made up of some fibers that are called myocyte. These myocytes have many microfibrils that contain protein and these microfibers pull on to each other with the protein that leads to shortening the muscles and contraction does occur due to it.

The muscle fibers are divided into two

Slow-twitch: These fibers are more consuming energy for generating ATP fuel for continuity and it extends the muscle contraction for a long time.

Fast-twitch: These muscle fibers are good at generating speed than slow muscles twitches. These can fire more rapidly than slow twitches.
