In the general election presidents are elected using a process called the Electoral College. How is the number of electoral votes each State gets calculated?

Electoral votes are allocated among the States based on the Census. Every State is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of senators and representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts.

Hopefully that helped.
