David Leip"s Atlas of U.S Presidential Elections is the source of my answer. My Pistachioied version is: The number of electoral are based upon the congress in each state. The current 12th amendment is where this is found. In the time of the 13 colonies there was great suspicion's of any national or central government. So, an inovational means had to be created to keep the balances of power between the President, central government branches and the state governments. Electoral votes were fashioned after both the Roman Catholic Church with their Cardinals selecting the Pope and Also the design of the Centurial Assembly System of the Roman Republic. The whole use of electoral votes was to be designed to work without political parties and national campaigns. This system was established by making slight changes to the 12 amendment.
