Explanation:

The Electoral College of the United States is a federal organ in charge of electing the president of the country. It is made up of voters, who represent the states and their citizens and vote for the candidates who have won in those states. Thus, each state has a representation in the Electoral College that is equal to all of its congressmen. So, the minimum that each state has in the Electoral College is 3 voters (the case of Alaska, Montana, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming and Washington DC), while the maximum representation is held by California, with 55 votes.

The Electoral College, then, has each state represented based on its weight in Congress. In this way, it does not only respond to a criteria proportional to the population of each state, but also puts them on an equal footing (since each state has two electors depending on having two senators in Congress). In this way, the representativeness of the smaller or less populated states increases, which otherwise would have practically no strategic weight in the definition of the President of the United States.
