There is no minimum. I think I know what you want to know. But the number of people represented by one electoral vote varies from one state to the next. If you live in Wyoming 174,277 people make one electoral vote. In California it takes 664,604 to make one electoral vote. So if you live in Wyoming your vote is 3.8 times more powerful than it would be if you lived in California.
Actuially it isn't meausered like that, the population of the state largely depends on that; example, California has 55 electorials while Hawaii has 4. SO, to win electorials you have to gets votes from the electorial college, which vote as the people do, some states have all or nothing; lets say Obama wins Calafornia 63% to 36%, he will get all 55 elctorials. However if he wins Hawaii 56%to 42%, he only gets 3 electorials
Each 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 House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The number of representative in the U.S. House of Representatives is fixed at 435. Every 10 years the U.S. Census Bureau takes a census of the population in each state. The 435 representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives is then reapportioned among the 50 states based on the population in each state.
The 2010 U.S. Census reported the population of the 50 U.S. states was 309,183,463. The number of representative in the U.S. House of Representatives is fixed at 435. Therefore, based on the 2010 Census each state was entitled to 1 representative in the U.S. House of Representatives (and 1 electoral vote ) for each 710,766 residents.
It is different for each State, depending on its population.

The Electoral College
The Electoral College
The overall population determines how many electoral vote each states has.
the popular vote is by everybody. the electoral vote is by electoral colleges, which not everyone is in
The citizens of the United States do vote in a President. They vote for the President they want their state to vote for. Then their state votes for whoever got the most votes. Just because voting for US President is not done strictly by majority rule does not mean it is unfair.
Electoral votes in the US are the popular vote for each state combined into an electoral. Example - 50,000 people vote for a candidate in one state. 60,000 vote for the other candidate in the same state. The candidate with 60,000 voted in that states gets the electoral vote. Note. A state can have more electoral votes depending on population.
The electoral votes are (more or less) decided by how many popular votes are cast for the candidates in various districts. So especially if you vote in a "swing state" and in an undecided district it is important to vote.
The electoral college vote for any state is the total number of congress people they have. So, house # + 2 from senate
the people but then it gets to the electoral college
by the people that are rich
Popular vote by definition means the vote of the people ( vox populi in Latin).
