Three. Every state has exactly 2 senators in the U.S. Senate, while the number of representatives in the U.S. House vary from state to state. A state by law, though must have at least one congressman. Since number of electors is based on total number of senators and congressmen of a state, 2 senators + 1 congressman= 3 total electors minimum.
three
The minimum number of presidential electors from any state is three. The minimum age to be a US President is 35.
Dude, there are 4 presidential electors in Idaho. The number of electors in any state is equal to that state's congressional presence- Meaning, a state has the same number of electors as it has people in congress. In Idaho, that means 4 (because we have 2 senators and 2 representatives).
Every state has a minimum of three electoral votes, because each state is allowed to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives representing the state in the U.S. Congress, and every state has two Senators and at least one Representative. Also, although the District of Columbia does not have Congressional representation (since it is not a state), the U.S. Constitution has been amended to allow them to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives they would have in Congress if they were a state or the same number of electors as the state with the lowest population, whichever is less. There is currently one state with a smaller population than that of D.C.: Wyoming.
The state presidential electors are chosen by the individual parties. Each state party organization has different rules how the electors are chosen.
Congress
The number of electors for each state is determined by the number of members of Congress (representatives plus the two senators) each state has. The District of Columbia has the same number of electors as the least populous state.
The number of electors for a state is determined by the state's representation in Washington. That is, each state has one elector for each senator and one elector for each representative. For example, Wyoming has two senators and one member of the House of Representatives. Therefore, Wyoming has three electors.
The amount of electors is determined by the total number of members a state has in Congress (Congressmen plus Senators)
Under the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, Washington, D.C. is allocated as many electors as it would have if it were a state, (but no more electors than the least populous state). Since every state has at least 3 electoral votes, Washington, D.C. is allocated 3 electoral votes.
by popular vote
The number of presidential elections for each state is determined by the number of electors assigned to that state. Each state is allocated a number of electors equal to its number of Senators (always 2) plus its number of Representatives in the House of Representatives (based on its population). The total number of electors across all states is 538, so each state's electors contribute to that total and collectively determine the outcome of the presidential election.
