Representaives in the United States do not have electoral votes. Members of the electoral college have electoral votes. There happens to be the same number of electoral college members as there are congressmen (senate and house of rep.) Each state has the same number of electoral college members as they have members in congress. 2 Senators per state and the House members are dependent on their state population as conducted by the senate. Each member of the electoral college has one vote for president. All votes from every member of the electoral college for a state go to the candidate which has the popular vote in that state.
