Electoral votes in the U.S. Electoral College determine the President and Vice President of the United States.
The number of votes that a state has in the electoral college is determined by the state's population. The higher the population, the higher the number of votes.

a state that is not definitely democratic or republican....these states are important to parties because they can depending on which way the electoral college votes, they can determine the winner......
Larger States do NOT have more senators. Each state has 2 senators. The only thing that changes between states are the number of representatives that the state has. The number of representatives depends on the population of the state. Together this makes up the Electoral Vote for the presidential election. If a state, like in Massachusetts for example, if Mr. FlipFlop won the state then all the Electoral Votes for that state which is 12 go to the vote of that candidate. Te staes that presidential candidates want to win are Texas, California, Ohio, and Florida. They have the most electoral votes. ~Nicole, Age 12
