The number of votes a state has is the total number of Senators and Congressmen.
First, every state starts off with two votes (each state has 2 senators; that's why).
Now add:
The number of U.S. representatives the state has, which is at least one.
(Besides the states, the District of Columbia gets 3 votes, so the total number of electoral votes is 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) +3 (for DC) = 538. )
The number of electoral votes per state is changed every 10 years, when the US Congress re-apportions the seats in the House of Representatives based on the new census. The total is fixed at 435 and the number of seats each state gets is determined by the population of each state relative to the total population with a minimum of one.
