the count is a majority not 270.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 3
“...The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed;...”

If a state would give up their electoral votes then it seems it would 50% + 1 of 538-37 = 501 or 251? Still doesn’t help Pres. Trump

As I understand this, the total required does not change if a States electoral votes are not accepted. Think of it as voting “Present”. The number is still 270 to outright win the electoral college vote.
