Does the number of electors that each state has in the electoral college vary from state to state?
Yes. Each state receives a number of electors equal to their total representation in Congress: the number of US representatives plus 2 (for the equal number of US senators per state). Under the 23rd Amendment, the District of Columbia (Washington DC) receives 3 electoral votes although they do not have that actual representation in Congress, only a delegate to the House of Representatives who votes in committees.
The total of electoral votes is therefore currently 538 : 435 (House) + 100 (Senate) + 3 (DC).
Following the 2010 Census, the most populous state (California) has 55 electoral votes. Six states (Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming) have the minimum of 3.
