Electoral votes are the votes of Congress. California receives 55 electoral votes (the most of any state) because it has 53 representatives and two senators.
Washington D.C receives 3 electoral votes.
If no candidate in a presidential election receives a majority of the votes in the electoral college, the decision is then passed to the House of Representatives to choose the president from the top three candidates. Each state delegation in the House gets one vote, and the candidate who receives a majority of state delegation votes becomes the president.
