FALSE!! The number of electoral votes a state gets is determined by the population of that state as determined by the last census conducted every ten years as required by the Constitution.
Chow!!

The correct answer is False.. each state gets the same number of electorial votes that they have member of the house PLUS the 2 senators. So the minimum for a state is 3, 1 member of the house, and 2 senators. Members of the house are based upon the population according to the most recent census (taking every 10 years).

false
Each state gets the same number of electoral votes as they have members in the house of representatives.
This is how the president can be elected without having 50% of the popular vote.

As only one other respondent correctly answered, each State receives a number of electoral votes equal to its total number of members in both houses of Congress: Senators and Representatives. It is emphatically not based simply on population or on simply the number of Representatives.

False - it's based on population for each state.

Not true at all! I believe it depends on population. Some states have lots of them, other states (less populated) do not.
