No states share electoral votes. Each state has at least 3 or more.
Candidates need a majority of electoral votes to be elected. Because most states* award all of their electoral votes to the top candidate in that state, candidates do not need to win the national popular vote to win a majority of electoral votes. The result is that winning a few large population states (called swing states), even by a tiny margin, can guarantee election to the presidency. In 1876, 1888, and 2000, the winning candidate did not get the most popular votes nationwide.
By popular vote.
When states with a combined total of at least 270 electoral votes enact the bill, the candidate with the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC would get the needed majority of 270+ electoral votes from the enacting states. The bill would thus guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes and the majority of Electoral College votes.
The number of electoral votes is adjusted after each census to reflect changes in state populations. States that have gained more population that the average can be given more votes and and states that have lost population or failed to gain as much as most states can lose votes. The number of electoral votes is tied to the number of congressional districts .
All ten of Minnesota's electoral votes go to the Presidential candidate with the most popular votes in the state and his running mate.
The states with the largest number of electoral votes in 1828 were Pennsylvania 28, Virginia 24.and New York 20.
Recently, if correct, California had the most electoral college votes with 55 votes.
The number of electoral votes are based on the population, so each state 'should' have as many electoral votes as needed by their population, with minimum of three. For instance, California is the most populated state and has the most electoral votes, currently at 55. Wyoming and a number of other states are not as populated and have the least electoral votes, currently at 3.
In U.S. Presidential elections, D.C. and every state except Nebraska and Maine gives 100% of their electoral votes to the candidate who gets the most popular votes within their state. In Nebraska and Maine, two electoral votes go to the candidate who gets the most popular votes within each state, and one electoral vote goes to the candidate who gets the most popular votes in each of the states' congressional districts.
