Best Answer

Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes in the Electoral College is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538. Based on the 2010 Census, the 11 states with the most electoral votes account for 270 of the 538 electoral votes. The states are California 55, Texas 38, New York 29, Florida 29, Illinois 20, Pennsylvania 20, Ohio 18, Georgia 16, Michigan 16, North Carolina 15, and New Jersey 14.
