Now, let's say that in 19 of those 20 states only one person votes per
state and that vote is cast for candidate A, and in one of those 20
states 20 people vote for candidate B.

In the popular vote candidate A receives 19 votes and candidate B
receives 20 votes.

Which candidate is elected, and by what majority?

Candidate A will receive 19 electoral votes, and Candidate B will receive
1 electoral vote. Candidate A is the winner 19:1

There has never been an election with only 20 States the 1820 election
included 23 and there were 235 electoral votes available. The 1816 election
included 19 States and there were 221 electoral votes available.

btw. Any post by "Ace" should be ignored.
