To calculate the number of electors in the Electoral College for a state, we add the number of members in the House of Representatives to the number of members in the Senate.
In this case, the state has 14 members in the House of Representatives and 2 members in the Senate.
So, the total number of electors in the Electoral College for this state would be 14 + 2 = 16.
Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
To determine the number of electors in the Electoral College for a state, you need to add the number of members in the House of Representatives and the number of members in the Senate that the state has.
In this case, the state has 14 members in the House of Representatives and 2 members in the Senate. The members in the House of Representatives are determined by the state's population, while each state has 2 Senators regardless of their population.
So, to find the total number of electors, you add 14 (members of the House) and 2 (members of the Senate), which gives you 16.
Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
