census
The electoral vote has changed over time due to population in each state. There is a count every ten years called a census and electoral votes are based on the census.
The Electoral College is the collective name that has been given to the 538 delegates from the 50 states who cast their electoral votes every four years to elect the President and Vice President, as specified by the US Constitution. In one sense, you could say that there is only one Electoral College, as the method is only used in presidential elections; however, a different set of electors are chosen every four years.
No, every state has at least three electoral votes
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).
Connecticut currently has 7 electoral votes. Electoral votes are the votes cast by members of the electoral college, whose votes help determine the next President and Vice President of the United States. The electoral college is a body of electors formally chosen by a larger group, who represent the states of America, to formally cast votes for Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.

The winner of the popular vote in one state takes all the electoral votes for that state. Winner takes all. Let's say Obama wins the popular vote in California, he gets ALL of the electoral votes for California.
