The number of Electoral College seats per state is determined by the total number of House and Senate representatives.
To understand how this works, we need to go back to the basics of the Electoral College system. The Electoral College is composed of 538 electors who are responsible for electing the President and Vice President of the United States. These electors are divided among the states based on their representation in Congress.
Each state is allocated a certain number of electors equal to the total number of representatives they have in the United States Congress. This includes both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House of Representatives is a proportional representation based on each state's population, while the Senate has two representatives for each state, regardless of its population. This combined number of House and Senate representatives determines the number of Electoral College seats for a state.
For example, let's consider a state like California, which has 53 seats in the House of Representatives and 2 seats in the Senate. The total number of representatives for California would be 55, which means it has 55 Electoral College seats.
Therefore, the correct answer is "by the total number of House and Senate representatives."
