The fewest number of people that a state can send to Congress is 3. Each state sends 2 Senators and must have at least one Representative in the House.
Each state can have at least 1 represent
It varies by state. The minimum for a state is three but there is no maximum limit; California has the most with 55 (as of 2012).The number is determined by the number of people the state sends to Congress. So the number will be based on:1. The number of Senators a state has- everystate has exactly two.2. The number of Representatives a state has. This is based on the number of people who live in the state, but every state is guaranteed to have at least one.
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.

Each state has at least 2 state representatives.
Actually, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. That is because the number of electoral votes that each state gets is the same as the number of congressional representatives that it has. Since every state has 2 senators, and every state has at least 1 representative, then every state has at least 3 congressional representatives, and thus has at least 3 electoral votes.
