Does the number of electors that each state has in the electoral college vary from state to state?

Yes. Each state receives a number of electors equal to their total representation in Congress: the number of US representatives plus 2 (for the equal number of US senators per state). Under the 23rd Amendment, the District of Columbia (Washington DC) receives 3 electoral votes although they do not have that actual representation in Congress, only a delegate to the House of Representatives who votes in committees.
The total of electoral votes is therefore currently 538 : 435 (House) + 100 (Senate) + 3 (DC).
Following the 2010 Census, the most populous state (California) has 55 electoral votes. Six states (Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming) have the minimum of 3.

∙ 6y agoEach state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) +3 (for DC).
Based on the 2010 Census the electoral votes by state are: Alabama - 9, Alaska - 3, Arizona - 11, Arkansas - 6, California - 55, Colorado -9, Connecticut - 7, Delaware - 3, District of Columbia - 3, Florida - 29, Georgia - 16, Hawaii - 4, Idaho - 4, Illinois - 20, Indiana - 11, Iowa - 6, Kansas - 6, Kentucky - 8, Louisiana - 8, Maine - 4, Maryland - 10, Massachusetts - 11, Michigan - 16, Minnesota - 10, Mississippi - 6, Missouri - 10, Montana - 3, Nebraska - 5, Nevada - 6, New Hampshire 4 , New Jersey - 14, New Mexico - 5, New York - 29, North Carolina - 15, North Dakota - 3, Ohio - 18, Oklahoma - 7, Oregon - 7, Pennsylvania - 20, Rhode Island - 4, South Carolina - 9, South Dakota - 3, Tennessee - 11, Texas - 38, Utah - 6, Vermont - 3, Virginia - 13, Washington - 12, West Virginia - 5, Wisconsin - 10, and Wyoming - 3.

∙ 13y agoNo the total number of electoral votes from each state does not equal the total number of electoral votes. This is because the District of Columbia gets 3 votes.
