435 comes from the House of Representatives. 100 comes from the Senate. The additional 3 votes are apportioned to Washington DC. Washington DC was assigned the three electoral votes under the 23rd amendment, which gives it equal representation equal to the least populated state in the union. Because every state has two senators and at least one representative, the number of electoral votes given to Washington DC is 3.

∙ 11y agoThe number of votes each state has depends on their population. Heavily populated states such as California, Texas, Florida, and New York would get more votes that Wyoming or South Dakota. See the related link for a list of the votes allotted to each state in 2012.

The size of the population in each state determines how many votes each states get. (Each state has the number of "electoral votes" equal to its number of US Senators and US Representatives combined.) Depending on how the people of the state vote (i.e Democrat or Republican), the Electors (people chosen on the ballot) cast their votes for each candidate. Some states divide their votes, but most are "all or nothing" for the prevailing party. The people's votes are called the "popular vote", and it has occurred that candidates with more "popular votes" have actually lost. (e.g. in 1888 - see link)
