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. Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming have 3 electoral votes each. The District of Columbia also has 3 electoral votes.
