Question

the number of electoral votes given to a state is based on which of the following?
○ congressional representation
○ the one state-one vote policy
○ the local economy
○ political patronage

Explanation:

In the US electoral system, a state's electoral votes are equal to its total number of congressional representatives (House of Representatives + Senate). The "one state - one vote policy" is incorrect for electoral votes. Local economy and political patronage do not determine electoral votes. So the correct factor is congressional representation.

Answer:

A. congressional representation
