How are the number of votes for each state in the presidential election determined?

Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. 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 is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.


Why are there more house members than senate members?

Because the the Senate was set up to have only two members per state, and the House was set up to have an arbitrary, fixed but changable number of members, representing each state based on population. Some Founding Fathers feared being dominated by states with large populations, while others feared being dominated by sparsely populated states, so this was a compromise..it gives BOTH groups a voice

How many electoral votes are there in all?

There are 538 electoral votes in total. Every state's number of electoral votes is equal to 2 (number of senators) + the number of representatives in the United States House of Representatives. In other words, 100 (members in Senate) + 435 (members in House of Reps), plus (according to the 23rd amendment) 3 for Washington, D.C. Thus 435+100+3=538. To win the presidency, 270 electoral votes are needed: 538/2=269+1=270.
