How many electors does each state have how does that help the small states?

Each U.S. state has a number of electoral votes equal to its total number of senators (2) plus its representatives in the House, which varies based on population. This system benefits smaller states, as every state has at least three electoral votes regardless of population size, giving them a disproportionately higher influence in presidential elections compared to larger states. Consequently, smaller states receive more electoral power per capita, which encourages presidential candidates to pay attention to their interests.
