In U.S. Presidential elections, D.C. and every state except Nebraska and Maine gives 100% of their electoral votes to the candidate who gets the most popular votes within their state. In Nebraska and Maine, two electoral votes go to the candidate who gets the most popular votes within each state, and one electoral vote goes to the candidate who gets the most popular votes in each of the states' congressional districts.
The number of electoral votes is adjusted after each census to reflect changes in state populations. States that have gained more population that the average can be given more votes and and states that have lost population or failed to gain as much as most states can lose votes. The number of electoral votes is tied to the number of congressional districts .

States don't really have electoral districts - they have electoral votes allocated based on the total of their senators and representatives. Each state thus has at LEAST 3 electors since each has 2 senators and at least one US Representative. A state with 6 seats in the US House of Representatives gets 8 electoral votes. A state with 12 US Representatives gets 14 electoral votes - and so forth. Most states appoint their electors on a winner-take-all basis, based on the statewide popular vote on Election Day. Maine and Nebraska are the only two current exceptions. Maine and Nebraska distribute their electoral votes proportionally, with two at-large electors representing the statewide winning presidential and vice-presidential candidates and one elector each representing the winners from each of their Congressional districts.
