There are 535 electors during each Presidential election. In each state, electors for the President of choice are elected, not the President themselves. Article II of the Constitution stated that the number of electors in each state equals to the number of representatives representing that state plus two senators. There are 435 Representatives and 100 senators totalling 535.
The number of electors each state receives in the Electoral College is determined by the total number of its congressional representatives, which includes both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state has two senators, while the number of House representatives is based on the state's population, as determined by the most recent census. This means that states with larger populations have more electors, while smaller states have a minimum of three electors regardless of population. The total number of electors in the Electoral College is 538, with a majority of 270 needed to win the presidency.
There is no set rule for the manner in which electors may be nominated or chosen.
The number of republicans and democrats on each committee are decided by the majority party. The party with more senators or representatives has more members on each committee.

No, there are not as many electors in each state as there are senators. The number of electors in each state is equal to the total number of representatives and senators that the state has in Congress. Each state has two senators, but the number of representatives varies based on the state's population.
The electors are chosen by the voters of each state in the presidential election. When people vote for president, they actually are choosing the electors supporting the candidates named on the ballot.
The number of electors for each state is determined by the number of members of Congress (representatives plus the two senators) each state has. The District of Columbia has the same number of electors as the least populous state.
