The allocation to the electoral college is based on the number of US Senators each State has plus the number of members in the US House of Representatives. Each state has two Senators and Oregon has five members in the House. The founding fathers created this compromise at a time when communications over long distances was slow and ineffective and the voters have been reluctant to change it.
