What state has the most electors in the college?
al qaida obviously has the most electors.
Which state has the most electoral votes and why?
No state has any electoral votes at all. The electors have the votes, not the states. The state legislatures determine how the electors are chosen, but states do not have electoral votes. Neither does the constitution say that states tell electors how to vote. ====================== Some clarification... The electors might have the votes, but each state has an allocation of electors which is determined by the total number of Representatives and Senators each state has. Washington DC is allocated 3 electors. California's allocation of 55 electors is the largest because - as of the 2010 census - California has the largest population. Florida and New York are tied at 29 electors each. Note that the population census includes everyone, not just U.S. citizens. In the process of selecting electors, generally each political party in each state selects a slate of potential electors - although that can vary by state. Then, on Election Day, voters who are voting for a candidate are actually voting for that candidate's slate of potential electors. Some states include the name of the potential electors on the ballot. There is no Constitutional requirement nor Federal law that says how the electors must vote, but each state can have its own requirements.

The people who elect the president make up the Electoral College and are called electors.

The District of Columbia, isn't a state, but it has three electors. The left column in the link provided shows the number of electors by state for many states.

How are the electors for the Electoral College selected?
The selection process for electors in the Electoral College varies by state but generally, political parties choose electors at their state conventions or party committees.

In most states, the electors' pledge to support the candidate that their party's nominee chooses, based on the popular vote in that state.
Which state has the greatest number of elctoral votes?
The number of presidential electors in a state is equal to the number of Representatives plus the number of Senators (always two with the exception of D.C.) for that particular state. As a result, California (before 2010 census) has far and away the most electors in the electoral college with 55, Texas is second with 34, and New York takes third with 31. Seeing as the number of electors in a state is dependent upon the number of Representatives and the number of representatives in a state is proportional to the state population, then basically the number of electors correlates to the number of people in the state, leaving California on top.
