Answer: There are 538 electoral votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of electoral votes is made up by combining the total number of House of Representatives and Senate members. There are 435 members in the House of Representatives, and 100 in the senate (2 members per state, 50 states). This although, only equals 535. There are 538 votes although because D.C. gets 3 electoral votes. This equals 538.
