The electoral votes from Wisconsin and the other states are
used to elect a President and Vice President every four years.
Whichever Presidential candidate gets the majority of
the electoral votes becomes the President.
Wisconsin is given one electoral vote for each Wisconsin congressional
district, in addition to one electoral vote for each of the two
Wisconsin Senators. In other words, the number of electoral votes
Wisconsin has depends on how many Representatives Wisconsin has in
Washington, D.C.
The number of Senators Wisconsin has does not change, but the number of
Wisconsin congressional districts is based on the last census.
Like every other state, Wisconsin has 2 Senators. Furthermore, Wisconsin
currently has 8 congressional districts. Thus, Wisconsin has a total of
10 Representatives in Washington, D.C.
Therefore, the answer to the question "How many electoral votes does Wisconsin have?" is 10.
