What is the maximum number of electoral votes a state could have if no new states are added?

388-- There are 538 votes and every state and DC gets a least three, so if every state but one got just three votes, that would leave 388 for the special state where practically everybody lives.

Which vote matters more popular vote or electoral vote?
The electoral vote is the one that determines who becomes president, so that one probably matters more if you care who wins.

That is why the popular vote does not exist for many of the elections before every state started using the popular vote as its method for choosing its electors.
