The following is a list of the number of electoral votes each state has in U.S. Presidential elections. There are a total of 538 electoral votes, which are distributed based on population, and 270 are required to win the Presidency. Only Nebraska and Maine allow electoral votes to be split between candidates, so for the most part, it's winner take all...

Every ten years a census is taken. Through this census, the federal government determines how many representatives each state is permitted to have. Some states have their representation increased while others have it diminished. Since the number of electors for a presidential election for each state is determined by the total number of representatives and senators, the number of electoral votes that each state has may change every ten years. Since the election of 2000 the number of electoral votes per state has changed with a bias toward western states due to their faster population growth. Here is the current number of electoral votes per state.
