States are allocated electors based on their number of Congressional legislators. For example, Colorado is entitled to nine electors because it has two members of the U.S. Senate and seven members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The District of Columbia is entitled to 3 electors by virtue of the 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Each state has at least one representative in the US House of Representatives. These states have only one each: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermonâ¦t and Wyoming. California has the most at 53. Unlike the Senate, where each state has two senators, the number of each state's representatives is based on the state's population, which is updated every 10 years when the Census is taken.
