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). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.

The above answer needs to be amended slightly. Each State's number of Electoral Votes is equal to the number of US Senators & US Representatives in the US Congress. Each State has just two US Senators and at least one US Representative. The number of US Representatives nationwide is distributed based on population (total 435), however each state has two senators regardless of population (total 100). Additionally, Washington DC has three electoral votes. As a result, Washington, DC and those states with the smallest populations have more Electoral Votes than if the Electoral Votes were distributed solely by population.
