How do you determine the number of electors in a state?
As per Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the number of electors for each state matches the total number of federal senators and representatives they have; which in turn is determined by that state's population as of the most recent census.For example, California (as of 2000, the most populous state) currently has 53 representatives in the House, and 2 senators. Therefore, in 2008 they were entitled to 55 electors.This will probably change in 2012, as the results of the 2010 census will have been tabulated and released by then.
