Each state has the number of electors in the Electoral College that equals the total number of US Senators added to the Representatives in the House from that state. If state A has 23 Representatives and 2 Senators (all states have two Senators) then state A would have 25 electoral votes (electors) on the Electoral College.

In truth, the state legislatures have plenary (ultimate) power to appoint the Presidential Electors for the state. In practice, all legislatures delegate the power to select Electors pledged to support various candidates to a ballot referendum in some form or fashion. Most states allow for a winner-take-all, first-past-the-post method of election. However, in the event that the popular election of Presidential Electors is disputed or litigated, all state legislatures reserve the power to appoint their Electors.
