The number of electors for each state is found by doubling the state's number of House Reps then adding two (for the Senators). For example, the state of Louisiana has six U.S. Representatives and two Senators. Therefore, they have eight electoral votes. Illinois has nine Reps. and two Senators, so they have 11 electoral votes.
