Question

How many electors does each state receive in the Electoral college? Why? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

A state's number of electors equals the number of representatives plus two electors for the senators the state has in the United States Congress.

Explanation:

The Electoral College is the process by which the states and District of Columbia elect the president of the United States. Each state is represented by a number of electors equal to the size of its congressional delegation. There are 538 electors in total. To win the Electoral College, a candidate must receive a majority at least 270 electoral votes

The Electoral College will meet in mid-December to cast their votes after the general election on November 3, 2020. Although there is no constitutional provision or federal law requiring electors to vote in accordance with the election results in their state, electors typically vote for their state's popular vote winner. Some states have provisions permitting the disqualification and replacement of an elector whose vote deviates from the state's popular vote.
